I appreciate that. I wish to make it clear to Members that because of the gravity and sensitivity of the issue, I was trying to achieve a respectful and calm debate so that it did not turn into something it should not, and we are doing our best. We are trying to achieve that. Before Senator Hoey takes the Chair, it would be in order to let Senator Gavan respond to the specific issue relating to him, followed by Senator Boylan. I ask Senator Gavan respond only to the specific issue.
