It is not a game. What I am doing is following proper procedures. The Deputy may be aware that following the referral by me to GSOC of certain allegations which arose following the O'Higgins commission report, the chairperson wrote to me seeking access to certain records of the commission. Having received the Attorney General's advice, I informed the chairperson of GSOC of the necessity to secure a court order, as the legislation envisages, directing that the material be provided. The granting of such an order is a matter for the courts, and I will comply with any such order if it is made. The Deputy seems to be asking me to have a commission of investigation into a commission of investigation.
