I do not say that Mr. Casey is wrong but it is an important allegation that will be picked up on nationally and, potentially, in the Dáil. It has been established and verified that there was an independent process with an independent board, and an expert group brought in.
None of us is contesting those facts. If the witness is saying there was no political interference in that process, how then can it have been a political decision?
