Chairman, it is not usual for me to make a comment such as this. Indeed, when you became Chair of this committee, I was one of the people who urged members to give you a chance to proceed. I have to say - I do not go into rhetoric against any members - I was very disappointed to read about yourself and the comments that were attributed to you in relation to the death of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe. I am just doing this because I am thinking of Mrs. Ann McCabe, her five children and her family. I would ask you, without any further delay, to clarify your position on this so that we can move on because many of the members of the committee are quite upset about it. I will not say any more about it. Thank you for letting me in.
