Private investigator Paul O’Sullivan has formally apologised to Parliament following his abrupt departure from an ad hoc committee meeting last week.
O’Sullivan returned to the committee for his fourth appearance on Thursday, where tensions remained evident among Members of Parliament.
Some MPs, including David Skosana, called for a formal retraction of remarks made during a previous heated exchange.
The Committee also sought legal advice on his walkout. It was considered a subpoena to compel him to return and complete his testimony.
In a letter submitted to Parliament, O’Sullivan expressed regret for leaving the proceedings prematurely, citing personal reasons for his exit.
“I undeservedly apologise to the Speaker of the National Assembly and all Members of Parliament, including but not limited to, the Chairman and members of the Ad Hoc Committee, for departing from the Ad Hoc Committee at 13:15 on 2026-02-26,” he wrote.
The apology comes amid ongoing friction between O’Sullivan and members of the committee, who have raised concerns about decorum and accountability during the inquiry process.
