There was a discussion in July 2015.

I think the Commissioner should reconsider publishing the letter from Ken Ruane. As Chairman of the committee here today I will officially ask her to reconsider that. It is her own decision but I am just asking her officially. It would be helpful to everyone and it would be in the interest of transparency. We will certainly be having a conversation with the Department of Justice and Equality about it later in the meeting.

In July 2015, the Commissioner said that she had a basic understanding of what was going on. I do not want to put words in her mouth so I ask her to let me know if she disagrees. I am not going to ask her about the letter from Ken Ruane but I will ask her about that whole process and about the meeting on 27 July that went on for somewhere between five minutes and more than two hours. Was the McGee report not appended to documentation provided for that meeting?
