This ties into the other area I want to go into. The witnesses have raised a very interesting new area today. The Policing Authority's actions in this case seem to me to be very interesting. There was a meeting on 27 April. My understanding and calculations of the various dates - if I am wrong, I ask the witnesses to correct me - is that Ms West made one direct appeal to the Policing Authority prior to that meeting of 27 April to discuss this issue with her or to take a phone call about it. Did Ms West actually speak to anyone? Was her call not returned? I am not being smart, but did she leave a voicemail message? How did that call go, and what did the Policing Authority do about that call prior to this meeting of 27 April?
