I have a transcript here and I want to be helpful. The witness, on 20 April, said that he told the State Claims Agency that all women had been informed or it was his assumption that all women had been informed. However, he knew on 20 April that was not the case because he gave evidence to this committee stating that he became aware that it was not the case when the Vicky Phelan case became public knowledge. That is what Mr. Gleeson said. Therefore, when he had the conversation with the State Claims Agency he knew that all women had not been informed. He is now telling the committee that he told the State Claims Agency that was his belief.
