Mr. Justice Moran went on to say that that was why he did not investigate events surrounding the London Olympics and other games. It was an impediment in certain areas, on which he is correct. However, it did not stop him addressing the key issues and making findings which are absolutely invaluable and about which none of us knew. The fact that he was impeded in certain areas does not mean that the sensible and powerful findings he has made should be discredited. He decided to abandon the investigation of events surrounding the London Olympics because of the lack of co-operation, but what was happening in the OCI when he was reporting was addressed. That was the kernel of the investigation and it will be remedied as a result.

The Deputy asked about basic oversight of the OCI. I want to outline what the oversight arrangements are.
