The report is 300 pages long. It concludes that there is a requirement to have a comprehensive commission of investigation into these matters. It points to the inadequacy of investigation and analysis in dealing with the detail of evidence submitted by Sergeant McCabe in respect of these matters. It points to the inadequate response of the Minister under his statutory function and responsibilities for independent investigation and analysis of these matters. It is in that respect that he feels it is his duty to resign from his responsibilities and in that respect only. It is his feeling as a Minister that this finding of the senior counsel of inadequate use of his statutory responsibilities requires him to tender his resignation. Mr. Guerin did not actually speak to the Minister but obviously was in possession of the documentation and paperwork from the Department of Justice and Equality.

This requires him to tender his resignation. Mr. Guerin did not speak to the Minister for Justice and Equality but he was in possession of the documentation and paperwork from the Department of Justice and Equality.
