Dr. Richard O'Flaherty:

I will not go into the detail of the case on behalf of my patient and myself. It has been accepted under four headings and I will not discuss them. It has been progressing for two years. I had to chase them and I have been told by some of the investigators that one of them, who was named, is on sick leave. I lifted the phone and phoned the station and was told he was at a meeting in another area. He was not on sick leave. Last night, I had much trouble getting rid of the Garda superintendent investigating it, who took my statement for eight hours. Two of them arrived and I objected and said I wanted another person with me. My son, who is a solicitor working in criminal law in England and is used to sitting in on statements, came down and found my statement was not being taken satisfactorily. We got rid of the superintendent taking my case.
