“In national security matters and matters around the State, it is my obligation to report to the government as you would expect me to do.
Also, we have been contributing to the IRC (Independent Reporting Commission) reporting on the status of various paramilitary groups and we would hold with their opinion on these matters.
I am also aware of the PSNI and the British security services assessment and we do not differ from that view.”
