I am not satisfied, for a couple of reasons. There is no issue with sending the transcript to the Garda and, in fact, I support it. That has nothing to do with it. The issue of a witness being told to stop giving evidence for fear of having qualified privilege only is also a separate issue. On three occasions, however, the Chairman stated I was acting alone, not as a member of the committee, that the questions were not posed by the Committee of Public Accounts and that, therefore, the witness did not need to answer them. Is that correct?
