Ms Ann Nolan:

I think that is unfair. The fact that it was in the media does not make it right. The judge has been away so we have not put those things in place. We have had preliminary discussions with him and I understand there is a meeting tomorrow at which things will be fixed. The judge is extremely concerned about his independence and we will ensure his independence.
