I have two questions for the Commissioner. Regarding the leak of the suspension that I referred to on 3 January, firstly, did he inform the Minister for Justice and Equality in advance of the suspension? Second, the Commissioner mentioned defending the rule of law. Was he concerned with the fact that the media had the story about the suspension before the suspension took place? I know the Commissioner does not like discussing individual cases but I assume that not many people would have known what he was going to do. Is this something that he has looked into?
