No, not a public disclosure. This is very important. Was Professor Mey aware that a protected disclosure was made in relation to the Dunnes Stores site? It is a very serious question, and it is a yes-no answer. She is entitled to say no. Please answer the question. That is astonishing. Chair, that is astonishing. I have a herniated disc and I would be on my feet right now if I had not. I think the fact that Professor Mey cannot answer that question, and has to refer to Mr. Kelly for advice, says a lot. Can she understand the frustrations of this committee? The reason this report is not being published, and I can only give my view, is that I think there would be gardaí at the door. That is the impression the public has.
