Mr. Martin McGuinness:

I did not put those questions to the former First Minister at that stage because my concern was to try to understand the entire process involved in what was happening and why I had been excluded for a lengthy period. The information on this appeared in the public domain after Deputy Wallace made his statement in the Dáil. By then, it was clear to me that, at some stage, there would be a police investigation into all of this. That is why I did not enter into the conversation.

It is important to point out that the National Crime Agency, NCA, made a statement some weeks ago to the BBC. I believe that one of its members was interviewed. The NCA stated that it had interviewed more than 40 people regarding Project Eagle. I am not one of those 40 people.
