I return to the previous questions on the perception that some of the SCU material, particularly around the Project Ireland 2040 material, bordered on promoting particular candidates in particular areas. I fully accept that in the review that was carried out, Mr. Fraser stated there was no evidence that any direction was given to editors to place Senators and councillors into those advertorials. I note that the report he was dealing states with there was no Civil Service direction. There was no direction from the SCU. Is Mr. Fraser aware of any political direction given to those editors to place election candidates?
