Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Finian McGrath is somewhat premature with some of those questions. He is asking whether I will correct the official version if the report finds that it is incorrect. I have not read the report yet, as it has not come to hand. I do not want to anticipate what is in it. If the report points out that the official version is wrong, of course we will deal with it. If I said anything incorrect on the record of the Dáil, I will be more than happy to correct it. We will study the report in that regard. Any complaints the two men have as regards their treatment or alleged treatment by the Army can be brought to my personal attention. They have brought a few matters to my attention and we have been in touch with them. Before I comment in detail on what the report will reveal, I would like an opportunity to read it first. I am sure the Deputy can understand that point.
