That was a formal investigation into a matter approved by the Dáil. We are not in compellability mode. We are like any other committee seeking goodwill from people to co-operate. To go down the compellability road, the committee would have to get the approval of the House and the CPP and specify the reasons it was necessary. That is a mammoth task and not feasible for a weekly agenda.
