My next question is a follow-up to Deputy Collins's questions on the composition and so on of an independent policing authority. I was interested in Ms O'Sullivan's remarks and the way she tied them to her comments on local policing committees. Many recommendations were made for having a broad representation in the context of the independent policing authority and that part of it should be some form of civic oversight. Whereas the local policing committees appear to be relevant in terms of accountability, as Ms O'Sullivan indicates, that may not mean the same things as oversight. Would Ms O'Sullivan comment on whether the members of civil society who are part of the local policing committees would be appropriate potential candidates for the independent policing authority?
