That happened on Monday and it happened on Wednesday. Then you got clarification. I do not mean to be facetious, but that sounds a bit like a child and a teacher or a parent having a conversation where the child says, "I do not have my homework done", and the question is, "Do you have your homework done?". The answer is, "No, I do not have my homework done", and then, a little later, it is a case of "Ah, I have my homework done. I did actually get it done." In truth, Siún Ní Raghallaigh has been pilloried for doing what she intended to do. Granted, she misinformed the Minister - I think she accepts that, from what I have read - that it would happen in future. It has actually happened in the past, however. There was board oversight and it did get board approval. I get that there was a little bit of misinformation, but who among us has not forgotten something? When you put that in the overall context and the detail through which she was working with the various different investigations, I think she could be forgiven for it. Would you accept that is a fair characterisation?
