Deputy Ross is aware that the legal advice we got is that, in terms of any transcript, one would expect that there would probably be redactions needed, and we are being told by the Editor of Debates of the Houses of the Oireachtas that no transcript can be redacted in any way. If the Deputy is taking into account the best interests of all concerned - and I want to move onto the main body of the work today - we need to make the decision as a committee. I ask the Deputy, in the interest of the workings of the committee, that he takes the bona fides of everyone that works on the committee - which is very important in terms of it being very much in the public interest - and that he would take it that we could move on from the issue and that his objections on this matter would be noted in the minutes. Then we could move onto the main body of work.
