Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I thank the Deputy. In the two reports, and the Devine report in particular, there is considerable detail which I cannot go into in the specifics because of the nature of those reports. They relate, in essence, to opportunities that might have been taken to deal with the allegations that were known at the time, which, had they been dealt with in a different way, would almost certainly have produced a different outcome. This occurs on a number of occasions in the period essentially back to the mid-1990s. While the allegations are just that - allegations - and are not probative at this stage because of other processes, they are of a sufficient nature that they could have triggered different actions by the persons dealing with the case.
