I thank the Commissioner and his colleagues for their presentations. The Commissioner will recall that when he first appeared before this committee in October of last year, I raised the issue of the late Denis Donaldson's journal, its current status, and the request by his family that it be returned to them. In response, he said:

The specific point the Senator raises has been raised in the correspondence from the family's solicitors. It is a live issue and we will have a response quickly.

I do not intend to get into the status of the evidential value of the journal, or the change in that status since the Commissioner's first and subsequent appearance before this committee. However, has he corresponded with Denis Donaldson's family and their solicitors regarding the journal?
