The Commissioner referred to the issue of bail in her opening presentation. In the context of violent criminals being granted bail, what is the role of An Garda Síochána? I am referring specifically to violent crime rather than petty, non-violent crime. I am talking here about guys who have serious form. In the context of the recent death of Tony Golden, the person involved was actually out on bail, which I do not understand.
