The person concerned was a witness during the first module of the Morris tribunal in regard to hoax explosive finds. The person fully co-operated with the tribunal and was granted an order for full costs.

The person currently also has a civil action against the State in regard to alleged wrongful arrest, and I am, therefore, constrained in what I can say at this stage. Certainly the issues raised in this case are being carefully examined so as to ensure that they are responded to fully and appropriately in the proceedings.
