My final question is about something others have touched on. Is this beyond the Garda Síochána itself? Is there a problem of culture within the Department of Justice and Equality? This committee has previously recommended the creation of a criminal justice inspectorate at that level. I attended a round-table meeting that the Minister hosted on 23 November to explore this possibility. Does Mr. Olson have a view on that? Is that a mechanism that could improve oversight, particularly of the implementation of recommendations and good governance structures in the Garda Síochána?
