Just before I started, Ms. Hynes, along with the management team, briefed me on the general responsibilities of the ombudsman's office, what types of investigations were being carried out at the time, the structure of the office and the management of the office. It was a very quick briefing, because I had to go to committee to be a witness on another committee just after that, but it gave me a very brief general overview of what the office was doing at the time and how it was structured—the budget, the structure and so on.
There were no issues raised at that point with respect to any sexual misconduct allegations.
