I thank the witnesses for their attendance this afternoon. I only have two or three questions and although I intend to direct them towards an individual, any witness to whom they are not being directed should feel free to weigh in, if he or she has something to say. I will begin with Baroness O'Loan, who mentioned there should be a provision to allow for GSOC to investigate or have access to a Garda premises. I will extend that a little by inquiring on her views as to how far that should go. In the context of GSOC's remit, is one merely talking about Garda stations and Garda headquarters or should other facilities be included? While I am merely thinking aloud, in the case of an ongoing investigation into issues relating to a particular member of the force, for instance, would this extend - with the assistance of the courts - to looking at the personal premises of a serving member?
