MR CURRIN
Well, I am trying to establish whether or not there was authority, either implied or 
expressed in regard to some of the Acts which were committed and I am having specific reference to the 
provisions of the Act. One of the factors obviously which will be taken into consideration by your 
Committee, Mr Chairman, is the question of authority, and clearly on behalf of the victims we need to 
know whether the acts which were committed against the victims for whom we appear, did have the 
authority.
