I would appreciate that. It gives me no pleasure to raise the issue but that is the situation as I understand it and I would appreciate the Commissioner's taking the time to inform himself of what was involved. The deployment, according to the Minister, was sanctioned either by the Commissioner or members of his senior management team. That was the reply given to me on the floor of the Dáil. Therefore, somebody, if not the Commissioner personally, within his management team must have made a decision that the deployment was appropriate in the circumstance. Nothing has happened since, the gentleman has not been arrested or questioned. The only words he heard uttered were "Wrong man".
