The historical context response does not cut it. I am sick of hearing that from Mr. Culhane in response to every question. I have already explained to him the historic context was dealt with in Mr. Kelly's report. There are two sets of correspondence, one in relation to Mr. Barrett, in which Mr. Culhane attempts to undermine his work, and another in relation to Mr. Kelly, in which he attempts to undermine his work. Mr. Culhane states in writing that the report was unprofessional, misleading and mischievous. Mr. Culhane has a duty and a responsibility to inform this committee today why he believed that Mr. Kelly's report was unprofessional, misleading and mischievous.
