We are concerned because following a commitment from the Garda, the then Commissioner and the witness as acting Garda Commissioner, we were to get the report, then we were not to get it and now we have correspondence – which of course is not Mr. Ó Cualáin's fault – from the Secretary General of the Department saying we may get the report in due course, with plausible deniability built in for the Department when it says it will be with redactions based on policing and security. We are never going to get the report. Was Assistant Commissioner O'Driscoll in charge in Dublin at the time that this report was written?
