Ms Judith Thompson:

I do not have much to add. To pick up on on the points around transparency and national security, it is not that people are telling me they do not believe there is such a thing as information which could leave people’s lives at risk or in danger. It is that they need to trust that that is genuinely and only the grounds on which things have been held. So the answers to that situation have to be about robust appeal and maximum transparency. That is an issue for both the Government of Ireland and the Government of the UK.
