I want to put on record my reaction to what I heard this morning. Like every other member of the committee, I am aghast at what has come out. It is important to note there were procedures, reviews and examinations to identify this information. I will try to phrase this as well as I can. I welcome that the information has been found and that it is coming out. I do not welcome that it happened. It is important we continue with our examinations to extract the truth and that we get the likes of this out in the open. We should deal with it through Government channels and also put measures into practice to ensure we mitigate against this kind of behaviour and that it is identified extremely quickly if it happens in the future. The Utopian view is that it should never happen. We have to put all necessary procedures in place to ensure it does not. I will be waiting to hear the update from our next witnesses. I thank the Minister for her contribution and for answering questions. I will not repeat questions that have been asked already.
