Ms Catherine Guy:

May I answer the question? I think it is remarkably unfair to say there is a strategy of concealment with regard to that. We took great care to make sure we kept the organisation, our employees and sensitive data safe. That is not the only thing we did. We were also aware and cognisant of the interest in this specific issue and, speaking frankly, the interest in the initiation. I was present at the Oireachtas joint committee when you raised that question towards the end. One of the other Deputies has referred to the fact that we were in a meeting until late last night. One of the things we tried to do was make sure that in the opening statement, we balanced the privacy concerns and legal advice we have with the disclosures Mr. Hill has made.
