I presume when you referred to the transcripts being made available, Co-Chairman, that included submissions. Is it agreed that they be made available as well? Agreed.

I have a question on the issue of prisoners in custody and the safeguarding of same. We have had a number of fatalities and incidents in prisons in which people have lost their lives for various reasons, either through violence or suicide. Can you comment on that, Dr. Farrell, vis-à-visArticle 2 and the role and obligations of the State?
