-----as is the Minister for Justice and Equality prevented from speaking about them. I was entitled to read and assess and analyse the terms of reference set out by Mr. Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill, who had contact with all of the main personnel, I am sure, in respect of the two protected disclosures that he received. In my very brief conversation with the Minister, Deputy Zappone, she quite rightly pointed out to me that she had met Sergeant McCabe and that the subject of her conversation with him was false allegations of a sexual nature made to Tusla about him. These terms of reference speak specifically about an allegation of criminal misconduct made against Sergeant McCabe. I was clear in my mind that it covered and would cover false allegations of sexual misconduct. This was confirmed by the judge of the Supreme Court who was to take charge of the then proposed private commission of investigation and it also included all of the issues on the RTE programme.
