Mr. Fergal O'Leary:

Absolutely. There are a couple of different ways this can be done. As we would have said before, we will meet anybody, in any circumstance, in any place, and take information. It does not have to be an official record and people do not have to say, right at the start, that they want it to be formally on the record. We meet people all the time and they do not give us official information but they give us tip-offs. We will investigate those and we are happy to do that. We are absolutely cognisant of the fact that a supplier who does not want to be in business anymore is going to be the one who gives us an official complaint, and we accept that. There is a barrier below that, where we will accept market information and we will then go off and try to do the best we can with that, and that happens all the time. However, there comes a point, particularly in a criminal investigation, where we need a witness to go into the box. As I said earlier, we refer cases to the DPP and it normally prefers to have a witness - somebody who is describing the evidence and saying what happened. However, that is a long way down the road. If people have evidence, it does not matter what type it is, we will hear it, and we will not put them in harm's way if they do not want us to.
