Catherine Connolly: That is not in Mr. Niall Kelly's report. He skips a section and says, "the next significant step", and it is not that. Will he explain that to me?

Catherine Connolly: If we look at page 13 of Mr. Kelly's report, in response on 8 May, the then Commissioner agreed, and I have set that out. We move forward. The next significant step is on 10 March. That is a huge gap.

Catherine Connolly: I am not asking for an apology. Our role is to hold people to account. We do not want to do this and it would be easier if we did not have to do so, as we say repeatedly when asking questions.
