I apologise for arriving late. We greatly value the insights we have gained from the witnesses. I wish to address a question to the acting Garda Commissioner and to Baroness O'Loan, and I have a general question.

At the last set of hearings I asked about the Garda whistleblowers charter. Before the departure of Commissioner Callinan, I had written to him requesting a copy. The AGSI, which was represented at the last hearing had a copy of the charter but it was not sure if it was accessible to the public. I may have asked the wrong person in the past. Is the charter publicly accessible? Should it be publicly accessible? Should it extend not just to serving gardaí but also, for example, to police doctors or to those who are not serving members of the force but are working in Garda stations, and therefore are privy to internal police practices?
