Mr. John Murphy:

What had previously been done was to seek legal advice on the appropriate way to bring certain investigations to a conclusion and to ensure that material that needed to be disclosed to other bodies was disclosed.

As a result, various directions were given by Ministers at that time. The job of examining the witness statement supporting document could really only have been done by a very few officers, including my colleague here, Ms Breda Power, who would have had the main responsibility as the head of that division and who was sufficiently familiar with the background. There were very few others upon whom one could call to do this piece of work. I do not know whether Ms Power wishes to add to that.
