Josepha Madigan: I totally appreciate that and I understand that political relationships can be very fractious and difficult. However, I wish to bring Mr. McGuinness back to the conference call. When one looks at the statement in simplistic terms, it is quite stark that nothing was done.

Josepha Madigan: That would be very helpful. There were various occasions when Mr. McGuinness, in his role as deputy First Minister, could have had an opportunity to inform himself. He could have availed of the fortnightly meetings to engage with the process and to establish what was going on. I would be interested to know if there were conversations between Mr. McGuinness and Peter Robinson. Perhaps we...
