The Commissioner was asked whether he knew the identity of the Provisional IRA man. He said that he did and that he passed the information on to the Garda Síochána. He also wrote the name down on a piece of paper and gave it to Judge Peter Smithwick. The last thing I was told was that the paper was a matter for the Chief Constable of Northern Ireland. Mr. Harris is now Garda Commissioner. Is that paper which was passed to the Garda still in the possession of An Garda Síochána? Is the Commissioner in a position to name the person mentioned on it?
