I wish to raise one issue. There has been a ruling in the courts relating to an action taken by a previous witness to this committee. This committee was vindicated. There was a lot of talk at the time that the action was initiated against this committee and indeed, against the State, about the remit of the committee, the conduct of its members and so on. It would be useful to get a report back from legal services personnel to clarify a number of the issues raised. The court made a very clear decision in favour of the committee. I ask that the legal representatives be invited to appear before us to explain the verdict, offer clarifications on the remit of this committee and how it conducts its business, as well as any learning from the case itself.
