Mr. O'Driscoll has conceded that ten animals were bludgeoned, not 50, and that it did not happen under supervision, although an official was present, saw it happen and intervened by removing the lump hammer. I do not know how we can get to the bottom of something like this. We can safely say that, in any event, no animal ought to have been bludgeoned.
