CHAIRPERSON
Thank you.
	In the information available to us at the present time it appears there was an application lodged at some stage in the past at the offices of the TRC.  We are unable to ascertain at the present time with any certainty precisely what that application or applications were.  Whether it was one application in respect of the St James' incident or more than one application that is one covering today.  We have not as yet received copies of the letter which I defined of the 15th September.  It seems to me, however and I have discussed this with the members of the Committee that the proper course for us to follow would be to continue with the hearing subject to us having raised the point.  Well, I think you raised the difficulty before we did that that is a matter that will have to be decided but it can be decided later.  I will assure you that if any information becomes available to us that would in any way prejudice your client, we would supply you with that information and ask you to make any representations you desire to do before acting on it.  But subject to that reservation I think we can just continue with the hearing.
