I follow on from Deputy O'Brien to ask about the audit process and all of that, or rather who knew what and when. July 2017 was when Dr. Henry and Dr. McKenna became aware of this. Dr. Coffey is a radiation oncologist. We mentioned this at the health committee yesterday; medicine is a small world. As a radiation oncologist, does Dr. Coffey consider that it is credible that this did not come up in conversation in the various professional chat rooms, at conferences or through emails with college friends? It is my assumption. That is not credible to my mind. I am not trying to get at Dr. Coffey personally, it is just that we are trying to join the dots here and he is part of that community. Did he ever hear anything, whether in the bathroom at a conference or chatting on the phone, which might have alerted him to something?
