That takes me to my next question, which is on GSOC. The Government has asked it to examine the penalty points issue. A major investigation has to be undertaken in that respect. We will also be giving GSOC additional powers when the Garda Síochána (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill is passed today. That will entail the provision of more resources.
Is the Minister satisfied that the resources provided to GSOC will enable it to meet the new enhanced responsibilities we have asked it to undertake?
