MS COLERIDGE
Chairperson, there are just a number of issues that I have to address.   Chairperson, the Commission takes exception to the fact that Mr Martini is now saying that we never, ever responded to him regarding his letters that he addressed to us.
	The fact of the matter is that our Legal Officer, Adv Paddy Prior, took the matter further and actually did liaise with Mr Martini and therefore we are here today Chairperson, in order to get consensus from them, which they accepted Chairperson.  The fact that he is stating the Commission never replied to him, we do take exception to that.
	And then just on the issue of the victims as well,  Chairperson, in relation to transport.  We do provide victims' transport, but the Commission, it has more to do with the community at large, that I think Mr Williams was referring to.   The onus obviously of the community at large is to get to a venue where it is accessible, but unfortunately in this case, we have the facts before us.  
	And then just another distortion of the facts, Chairperson, this is more, I don't really want to get into personal debates regarding the correspondence between Mr Martini and myself, but regarding the press statements made by myself, was in relation to the High Court application, which I had the mandate to do.  The only statement I made was that the Truth Commission is vehemently going to oppose the application.  In that respect Chairperson, there is absolutely nothing derogatory in that sense, it was our right, which we did. 
	And then also just regarding communications between myself as the Evidence Leader and between Mr Martini, regarding the telephonic conversations, his response to me was Chairperson "I do not want to speak to you, I do not want to speak to you", and he reiterated that quite a few times.  The fact that he says I answered telephones, etc, Chairperson, it was at that stage, his comments to me was "I do not want to speak to you", and that was the end of our conversation.
	I just wanted to address those issues, Chairperson.  Thank you.
