Mr. Martin Callinan:

I am trying to explain what happened to the Deputy. If a report comes to me through those channels, I do not delay; I move them on and out to an assistant commissioner, who goes off and reports back. Have I seen some similarities between what I have received and some of the allegations that Assistant Commissioner O'Mahoney investigated? Yes, I have. Within the confidential reporting mechanism I do not have the names of those individuals who are reporting.
