Mr. Joe O'Flynn:
The Deputy has to understand that we knew that this was a very serious issue. We invoked the disciplinary procedures in the organisation but we went beyond that and engaged a senior counsel to advise us in the matter and clearly on the evidence, all of the evidence available at the time, the recommendation was that a dismissal would not be upheld, that it was not warranted.
