I have a number of other brief questions. I found the description of the events during Deputy O'Callaghan's questioning quite extraordinary. I find it remarkable that there was to be a discussion at the Policing Authority on 27 April and a report was furnished to the Policing Authority specifically on these matters and that Dr. Singh and his team did not have sight of it. I find this almost impossible to comprehend. Would the assistant commissioner agree that this is comparable to a discussion taking place at the Policing Authority involving significant drugs issues and the Garda national drugs and serious crime unit not having sight of the report?
