Regarding the information Dr. Scally sought, would it have occurred to people that it was not just about the information, it was also about how that information was to be used? If one looks for something, one does not look just for the documents; one looks to see what use those documents will be put to. That the documents had been digitally generated but then scanned and sent in a format that cannot be searched would certainly underscore the point that Vicky Phelan made that she believed it was stonewalling. She said that whereas Dr. Scally did not say that, she felt more at liberty to say it. Would Mr. Connaghan accept there was a degree of stonewalling in respect of the method of transfer of that information?
