Mr. Michael O'Sullivan:

From the analysis on the samplings we did and from listening to the telephone recordings, which gave us an insight into the issues, three factors are highlighted in my executive summary. The first is recording issues, the second is suspected breath test inflation and the third is estimation because that is what we heard; that is what the evidence told us.

Regarding the recording issues, they are significant. At one stage the discrepancy was 6.4 million, not 1.4 million. That 6.4 million was solely down to recording issues and recovered overnight. That goes to show the impact of the difficulties around how all of this data was recorded. In the midst of that is the suspected breath test inflation but those are the three issues that were highlighted from the in-depth analysis carried out by Dr. Singh's people and from what we heard on the recordings, which we have retained in the Garda information service centre, in Castlebar. That is by way of clarification.
