Alan Kelly: He had been there for a couple of years. Did he not feel that his position was undermined by the fact he had not been informed of the scale of these issues by people who are sitting here, some for longer than others? There were others in senior management of An Garda Síochána who knew about these issues but Mr. Howard was never informed. Does he feel he should have been informed?...

Alan Kelly: I do not want to cut across the Deputy, but for clarity, is that letter that Mr. Ruane sent, looking for the advice, the letter that was sent to the Attorney General and copied to the Department of Justice and Equality, where they now claim it was the first time they became aware of this?

He can say he does not know the answer in his role or he can give us the answer, but to say that he can revert on a specific question like that is totally unacceptable in my view. He...
