Ms Josephine Feehily:

What I said was we were already aware of the issues they were raising with us. The detail of their issues and disquiet was contained in the letter of 11 May they had sent to the Commissioner. From our records, the contact before that was simply a request to attend a meeting. The response they received was that, from the Policing Authority's point of view, there was no difficulty with them attending. It was a matter for the Garda.
