I can. I have already told Deputy Martin that I will continue to raise this matter at every opportunity I get. I noted the statement made by Deputy McDonald's party leader, Deputy Adams, today in respect of the Smithwick tribunal. This is an important statement because it clearly states that the Sinn Féin Party was in a position to influence volunteers who were previously members of the IRA in regard to meeting with the Smithwick tribunal. That is an important influence to recognise. While Deputy Adams has never admitted being a member of the IRA, in his capacity as a member of Sinn Féin he was in a position to influence former members of the IRA, known as volunteers, to consult with the Smithwick tribunal.
