Ms McDermott might have misunderstood my question. She is in touch with these people as part of her organisation's work. Will she relate to us their experiences when they reported the directive counselling, which is clearly outside of the legal framework within this jurisdiction? It was clear, when I read the stories, that people were telling Ms McDermott and the organisation that they were in receipt of this directive counselling, which is not legal. What was the experience when that was reported and how that was treated?
