Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

I think that is what I have attempted to do. I have apologised for one aspect of it quite clearly, which is that our witness should not have been difficult. That is quite clear in the court case. I did explain that he was four and a half hours in the witness box and got into a tangle with the defence barrister who, I am sure, was also being robust. In respect of the heavy-handedness, which I think is the thing the Deputy is pursuing, I am fully prepared to apologise for anything a judge has found in a particular case but I am just making the point that on that particular issue, I am not clear what she was referring to. That is all.
