The first response was about 6.30 a.m. and the incident had occurred about 2.30 a.m or 3 a.m. The NCSC and the Department of the Taoiseach were involved at the very early stage at about 6.30 a.m. We then had further meetings from 9 o'clock that morning and every element of the State was involved. It was first thing Friday morning, as soon as we became aware of the incident.
