     2   Q.   But you do not remember what happened to any copies that
     3        you had?
     4        A.  No, I do not.
     5
     6   Q.   You did not feel it was important to keep those affidavits?
     7        A.  Well, like I said, you know, all this happened 16 years
     8        ago.  I cannot comment on every piece of paper, OK, that
     9        was part of the dispute.  I honestly do not know where they
    10        went.
    11
    12   Q.   You wanted to keep all the affidavits that put your side of
    13        the story, but get rid of anything that put the other side
    14        of the story?
    15        A.  I think, if I may say so, you are trying to get me to
    16        say that I did away with papers.  I did not do away with
    17        any papers.  Whatever I had on the files is what was
    18        there.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  James Macken, he was picketing from day one, was he
         not?
    22        A.  Yes.
    23
    24   Q.   As we have just heard, he had made an affidavit for one of
    25        the early hearings, picketing hearings?
    26        A.  Yes, I recollect that.
    27
    28   Q.   Was he picketing every day, as far as you know?
    29        A.  From memory, he was, yes.
    30
    31   Q.   I believe at one time that you referred to -----
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can I just ask:  it refers to counsel for the
    34        Defendants, and it refers to affidavits of three of the
    35        Defendants and also someone called Thomas White.  Who
    36        represented the Defendants?  Did they have their own
    37        solicitors, or was it the union's solicitors and counsel?
    38        Can you remember or not help me on that?
    39        A.  What I can remember of it, my Lord, was that the union
    40        had a solicitor who, to the best of my memory, represented
         them as well.
    42
    43   Q.   James Macken and Sean Mrozek were employees?
    44        A.  That is correct.
    45
    46   Q.   Can you remember who Noel Boyle and Noel Dowling were?
    47        A.  Yes.  They were employees.
    48
    49   Q.   They were employees, as well?
    50        A.  I remember their names. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Thank you. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  So James Macken was there from day one; he picketed
    55        every day.  Do you recall that he also had signed support
    56        posters or appeals for support for mass pickets, things
    57        like that?
    58        A.  Yes, I can recall something of that.
    59
    60   Q.   Would it be fair to say that of all the strikers he was the
