Ms Josephine Feehily:

I understand that is what they said; I am just saying I cannot account for why they feel like that. I can only explain to the Deputy how we believe we handled their engagement professionally. They were thanked and reassured that they were free to come as part of a Garda delegation to meet the Policing Authority. That message was conveyed to them early in April 2017. That is our perception and it is the only one for which I can account.
