Ms Emily O'Reilly:

It is unlikely that I will say “No” to the Deputy but, in any event, I will, of course, look at, it as we look at everything. It is very important to me that we help everybody who comes to us and that if we cannot help people directly, we certainly would direct people to where they can receive help. I am not just making this offer to the Deputy but to anybody who is turning to us. If this is something the Deputy would like to discuss with one of my investigators to get a clearer view where, if what we write to the Deputy is not in itself sufficient, then I would be happy to arrange that as well.
