Ms Mary Harney:

The Deputy makes a valid point. However, even if it were shared with me, it would put me in a very difficult position. When the president received the report on 21 December, she called me and told me she had received it. She told me she had taken legal advice, which was to circulate it to those who are perhaps are directly affected by the findings. That is what she did. It was in that process that the legal challenge was threatened. She followed the advice from her external lawyers right along and kept me informed of that. She informed the governing authority as well. I believe it was Professor Mey's intention to publish it in February-----
