Mr. Justice Rory MacCabe:

I can probably answer the final question in one sentence. Everybody involved is frustrated. The complainants can be frustrated, as can be the members who are the subject matter of the investigation, and we can be frustrated in seeking the timely co-operation of people involved in the investigation. It is a general frustration, and I am sure members of the public are frustrated when they regularly turn on the radio or television and hear complaints from people, often justified, about the delays that exist.

In respect of the other questions, I will ask Mr. Hume to come in and perhaps then my director of operations and my deputy director of administrations to deal with the staffing questions and the protected disclosure matters.
