Ms Josephine Feehily:

I would agree that had we accepted it, we might not have moved on. I think that is fair. However, that would be to underestimate the capacity of the authority and its members to analyse material and to see through the presentation of material. Perhaps if we had accepted it, it would have gone away. I do not know. We did not accept it and at our most recent public meeting, we received an on-the-record acknowledgement from the acting Garda Commissioner that the material was inaccurate. That is helpful.
