I welcome Commissioner Callinan and his team to the committee this morning. Deputy Deasy raised the issue of penalty points and as mentioned, the report was clear that there was no criminality, corruption, deception or falsification of records. We take that as a given. The Commissioner indicated that he would have made some of the decisions that were taken or agreed with them. How do we go forward to ensure this does not happen again and that discretion is used properly and not outside what the Commissioner would deem appropriate?
