As I am sure the Deputy is aware the issue being raised is now the subject of a Tribunal of Inquiry, which is chaired by the Hon. Mr. Justice Peter Charleton. I would note that I addressed this matter as part of the statements made in this House on 14 February 2017, which were made prior to the setting up of the Tribunal. As the Tribunal is now at work, I will not comment further on issues that it may wish to examine under its terms of reference.
