I will put it a different way. I suppose it is unusual. The point I find unusual is that Guerin was the filtering process whereby Sergeant McCabe was appraised and it was considered whether his allegations are of substance. On foot of the Guerin report, a decision was made by Government, because of a recommendation by the Guerin report, that there should be an commission of investigation to investigate these nine or ten criminal investigations in Cavan-Monaghan. I wonder what possible relevance does Sergeant McCabe's motivation or integrity have to the investigation of those issues? Maybe Ms McPhillips cannot answer it.
