Thank you, Chairman. I have a number of questions for the Minister for Justice and Equality. At present we do not have the terms of reference of the review to be conducted by a judge. When is it expected to have the terms of reference?

Will the Minister outline to the committee if there are elements of conflict between the conclusions drawn by Verrimus and Rits on the technical issues that have been outlined on the three anomalies?

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, is an investigative body and the commissioners referred in their testimony to an investigation ongoing into the security breach in GSOC in regard to the report that appeared in the media. Has GSOC indicated to the Minister or to his Department whether the investigation will continue in light of the appointment of the High Court judge?
