Kate O'Connell: It does not make sense to me. I am not accusing anybody of telling lies or giving misinformation or whatever nice version one wants to use about lying.

It does not make sense that it would be acceptable to somebody at his level to receive scanned documents on a disk or a USB stick....

Kate O'Connell: I have a question somewhere. A previous speaker - Deputy Kelly, I think - asked Mr. Breen about mediation and he did not get to finish. What is happening?

Kate O'Connell: I know this is hard to quantify, but how is that going? Are people up for it? Are these four engaging?
