I welcome the witnesses and I thank the Commissioner for the evidence he has given to date. In his initial contribution, the Commissioner referred to Garda discretion. He referred to one matter in the context of bees worrying livestock. While I very much hope that the cows involved were okay, he can see - from the public's perspective - it seems unusual that discretion was used in that case. Are there any controls relating to Garda discretion or is any advice provided in respect of what is actually considered such discretion?
