Mr. Rob Morrison:

The committee has selected one question. We were unhappy with the format of "The Frontline". We were unhappy with the questions being more like comments than questions. Reading through the questions, many of them are comments with a question mark at the end. This includes the one from Siobhán Feeley about Seán Gallagher. That is a format problem and we were equally unhappy about it. We criticised this.

With regard to bias, we went through it in great depth and detail. Our antennae were razor sharp looking for any evidence. We asked the same questions. Was this down to personal bias and was there a campaign to get Seán Gallagher? Was there a campaign to promote Michael D Higgins? Was there an anti-Sinn Féin campaign? We did not find any evidence.
