To reiterate, the Minister fully agrees that GSOC should have access to PULSE but we must have regard to the fact that the commission has confirmed to the Minister and the Department that it is happy with the level of access to PULSE. For the reasons I outlined, it is considered that the amendment it is not required. I have outlined the difficulties in isolating this single area of access and with the title and other legal difficulties. We must also acknowledge some previous difficulties that existed between the commission and the Garda Síochána, which is not now the case. The commission is satisfied with the access it has in all areas.
