I did not ask that. I mentioned the context of when there was not a standing commission of investigation, when that was over and the Minister was asked about issues of the Commissioner's attitude to Maurice McCabe. She was clearly given information which said the Commissioner had the full support of Maurice McCabe when officials in the Department of Justice and Equality knew that was not so. In the context that the Department's governance framework states it is the Secretary General who is responsible for that advice and that the former Tánaiste and Minister misled the House on this, will there be any penalty for or investigation into that?
