Mr. Michael O'Sullivan:

There was no prima facieevidence of criminal activity. I have been in and out of courts for 36 years. I have been in the Special Criminal Court half a dozen times this year regarding cases of domestic terrorism. I am also in court regularly regarding the operation of the State's witness security programme. I am the one person in this room who is most frequently before the courts. I found absolutely no evidence of what the Senator is suggesting at any time. Neither have I heard adverse comment from a judge, defence or prosecution counsels in this regard. I can only give my experience as the person in this room most regularly in the courts.
