It is not just his view. We will just go down through it. I want to draw attention to the second paragraph, in fairness to Mr. Barrett. I am reading the paragraph that starts, "In the course of the meeting I referred extensively". The last sentence is, "On 30th June, 2015 and again in early July I had been advised that Mr. Cyril Dunne had brought these matters of critical concern, which I had been raising, to your personal attention". He is saying he was advised. He does not say who advised him. I read it carefully. That letter is an element of hearsay. He is saying he was advised by somebody. He does not tell us who advised him and that something was brought to somebody else's attention. It is not a statement of fact but we will ask for a written response.
