John McGuinness: We are anxious to get these matters dealt with. Deputy Murphy raised the issue of the Jewish Museum with the OPW and since then, a list of questions have come in. I propose we send them on to the OPW for replies. I checked this with Deputy Murphy. We want to finalise our report on the penalty point issue. It might be worthwhile talking to the Road Safety Authority. That will finish...

John McGuinness: We had to make a legal submission for compellability in regard to that. I think Deputy Nolan proposed it. We have made that submission to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges and have asked it to treat it as a matter of urgency. Again, we are waiting on other parties in order for us to finalise our report.

John McGuinness: No one is denying anyone's rights, neither the rights of Sergeant McCabe nor the rights of committee members. I am just asking that it be clarified. That can be done immediately.

John McGuinness: Various propositions have been made and there are a number of procedural matters I have to check as Chairman. I am not prepared to enter into a vote or take a proposition right now. As Chairman, I want to ask about the procedure today and come back to the committee and explain the procedure and do what is necessary after I have been informed. That is a reasonable course of action. I...

John McGuinness: We will find that out. I will ask that we set aside the debate for the moment to establish whom we must meet, and if the meeting can be arranged today. Before the end of this meeting, I will come back and inform the committee. Procedurally, we must be correct in every step we take.

The committee is busy and I understand that she is busy, but if we must sit on a day...

John McGuinness: When we heard the witness, at the end of the meeting he was asked did he want the transcript and he said that he did. I think it was Deputy Eoghan Murphy who suggested that he should get legal advice. Following that, this letter came in. I take Deputy Eoghan Murphy's point that the solicitor was simply expressing the view, if one likes, of Sergeant McCabe that he would like to have the...
