Certainly, and I raised this mindful of that but also of the fact that this committee is in receipt of further material. The Chairman referred to one or two particularly serious instances where question marks arise over court dates, where we are advised there was no court date, etc. I take the point that the PULSE system is not a comprehensive account of any individual case. That is a fair point, but it is equally fair to say that whereas one may feel disadvantaged not having seen the material that has most recently come to this committee, we as committee members are at the disadvantage of not seeing in any form the substantiating material which the Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner O'Mahoney assure us exists. I wonder whether we might see the full material in respect of a sample of the specific cases to which the Chairman referred earlier. That would be a helpful and useful exercise. Shall I leave that thought with Mr. Callinan?
