On Ms McPhillips's points that the Minister could not get involved or give advice, when the email emerged, nobody asked the Minister to interfere in the strategy or anything like that. We are trying to get our heads around the astonishing lack of curiosity about the strategy in this correspondence. We have to take it against the background of what happened with the whistleblower issue and the circumstances of the O'Higgins commission of investigation. Does Ms McPhillips not think it was totally remiss of somebody not to have contacted the Attorney General's office on foot of that email and said thanks for that? Should the Minister continue to keep stating that Maurice McCabe has the full support of the Garda Commissioner or has that now changed?
