That would be great because certainly in Bray we get text alerts if there is going to be flooding, so it would be a great idea for that kind of thing to be run by the JPC.

The committee published its report on domestic and sexual violence last year and I was the rapporteur of that committee. We made a number of suggestions because many victims were very concerned at the way statements and photographs are taken and the delays in that process. The Commissioner undertook to take this on board. She has mentioned in her submission about providing a professional, victim-centred and community-focused police service. That is very welcome and I believe it is already in train and can be seen, and I congratulate the Commissioner on that. Can the Commissioner let us know about statements and about getting photographs taken straightaway in regard to victims who present at Garda stations? This would enable us to go back to the organisations that appeared before the committee on this issue.
