Did the Minister refer to how the intention was to smear Sergeant McCabe? When the Minister spoke to the Taoiseach about the matter did she just speak about the allegation of sexual abuse or did she speak about it as being an attempt to smear Sergeant McCabe? Having spoken directly to the Minister, to what extent did the Taoiseach assure her that Tusla would be within the terms of reference of the inquiry and that he had had the opportunity to consult with Mr. Justice Charleton on the matter before he informed the Minister that he was satisfied?

I have one final question for the Minister. As a Cabinet Minister, does she believe it appropriate that Nóirín O'Sullivan would continue on as Garda Commissioner for the duration of the inquiry?
