Mr. Noel Waters:

I am happy to convey the Chairman's point to the Commissioner after the meeting. I take the point the Chairman and Deputy Deasy have made. I share their view that the public interest requires that when these issues are raised, whatever information should be given to the pubic is, in fact, put out there as quickly as possible. It is in all our interests to ensure that is done. At the same time, in so doing we should be careful not to cause a further difficulty or jeopardise a prosecution if such is in course. Nevertheless, I take the point entirely.
