During our previous meeting with An Garda Síochána, Dr. Singh was asked whether any pressure was brought to bear on him not to question the report that was referred to at the Policing Authority meeting in April 2017 and he stated on a number of occasions, "Not that I am aware of". However, Ms West has detailed clearly in what is the same report essentially that between 8 and 10 May, she felt significant pressure was brought to bear on her to sign off on the report. She stated that professionally she could not sign off on the report and that she made that clear. It seems there is something here, which might not quite be a discrepancy. If pressure was brought to bear on her, it is difficult to imagine that pressure was not brought to bear on Dr. Singh. In what way did the pressure manifest itself? Was it a series of phone calls and emails saying that the report needs to be signed off by a certain time and that needs to be the end of it?
