Mr. Martin Callinan:

First, the confidential reporting mechanism in place does not afford me the facility of knowing who the confidential reporter is. These people, whoever they may be or may choose to be, report their issue to the confidential recipient, Mr. Connolly. He, in turn, sends me the import of the allegations and I have those matters investigated. I do not know who the confidential reporter is.
