Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

My understanding, and I cannot speak to any individual item there, is that it would usually be, for example, judges who are dealing with criminal cases where security arrangements have to be put in place around their homes. It could also be, let us say, a Minister or a person in the public eye who, by virtue of their employment, had a threat against them. That could be the circumstance.
