Statement from David Henry in relation to the Henry Inquiry

The Inquiry I led never requested the phone records of journalist Ms Andrea Vance. The Inquiry recorded this fact immediately the information was received.

“Quite simply, we did not request this information; we did not access this information; and consequently we did not use it in any way”, Mr Henry said.

I welcome the confirmation by the Speaker that the Inquiry had not requested Ms Vance’s telephone records.

With regard to the media reports of Mr Dunne’s comments today, I believe that Mr Dunne is mistaken, as I did not request nor was I seeking the phone log records of Ms Vance.

I am currently overseas and not available for further comment at this stage.
