We have been through other committees and other Departments about private emails and private phones and all of that. I ask Mr. Breslin to make sure it is all covered. The second issue is just an observation. Mr. Breslin has said he was not told about any of these issues until the Vicky Phelan case came light. I accept that. How does he feel that senior management in the HSE - the top tier, bar Mr. Tony O'Brien - was aware of these issues in respect of the process and audit since March 2016? I refer to the evidence of Dr. O'Keeffe. Some of the senior managers were also aware of the Vicky Phelan case since the summer of 2017. Does that not tell Mr. Breslin that there is a serious failure both in management in the HSE and also in the overlap of communications with the Department?
