I am conscious of the need to conclude shortly. In the meetings in which Ms Walsh was reduced to tears and so forth, was there nobody there who could have said: "We understand your concerns and trauma, for obvious reasons". People could have taken Ms Walsh and people in that situation aside and told them they understood why they were upset and offered to help them. Was there nobody there to say that?
