Mr. Martin Callinan:

The work of the professional standards unit is a continuum. It is examining a range of policing disciplines, including this area. Where there are systems that are not quite right, it will report back and deal with any that requires to be dealt with. That is what the unit does.

In terms of the report of the assistant commissioner, Mr. O'Mahoney, all he was required to do was look at the allegations and report back on them. That is precisely what he did.
