-----rush through something rather than analyse it properly. My point, particularly to the AGSI, is that the drip effect of those reports on morale in the coming months will have a detrimental effect. My next question is for the Garda Inspectorate which relates to its existence. Given certain similarities, I thank Mr. Olson for his line-by-line assessment of the legislation in terms of bolstering his own role. That is welcome in the context of reforming the legislation. What is done by other ombudsman offices across civil society? If the Garda Inspectorate is overviewing the structures and GSOC is investigating certain other issues, if I apply that scenario to any other section of society, are there two separate authorities?
