Mr. John O'Mahony:

What we know is that it divides. We have some people who have said, “I have not gone into the village since”, and I am talking about somewhere in the south east. People avoid each other and teams are split, when it never used to be like that. We have people from Westport right down to Wexford who are telling us the same story. It is not that former colleagues want to ignore us or ostracise us, but they do not know how to deal with us and we do not know how to deal with them. Every document we get is “private and confidential”. One of the things I was put on trial for was that I breached confidentiality. Normal volunteers should not have to go through most of what we have to go through.
