The Deputy will be aware that we must make provision to protect the security of the State, international agreements and the conduct of legal proceedings. There are clear separations of power and if somebody is in the midst of legal proceedings, we cannot conduct a parallel investigation. The issue arising is whether the exercise of that power is to be reviewed. I will reflect on that issue between now and Report Stage.
