I will follow up with Ms Murphy as to that bar that is set and about cases where evidence does not seem relevant at all. In such cases, what kind of recourse is there? There were a number of cases in Ireland in the past number of years which may have referred to underwear or such things. What happens in those situations and how would such a case make it through the process without being stopped with reference to the high bar that Ms Murphy has said has been set out in terms of relevance?
