On the review of the e-mails in the Department, it would be a very serious mistake to have the review carried out internally within the Civil Service. It is essential for credibility that it be an independent review. The Taoiseach mentioned his intention to shine a light on dark places. If he is serious, in the interests of accountability, will he request the release of the transcripts of proceedings at the O'Higgins commission in order that we will all know the exact tactics used by An Garda Síochána against Sergeant McCabe and the commission's response to them? It is really important to give us a full picture.
