Judge Henry Barron dealt with these issues comprehensively in the Report of the Independent Commission of Inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings. The issues in question were the subject of careful scrutiny and detailed investigation by the Commission.

Judge Barron's Report quotes directly from the minutes of the meeting in September 1974 and of a further meeting in November 1974.

(Full details of Judge Barron's work on this matter can be obtained on pages 129 and 130 of the Interim Report of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights.).
