I was not talking about those circumstances. The point here is that because of the reality which has been posed in front of the public, its members cannot trust information coming from senior Garda management. The Commissioner's opening speech suggested that much more can be expected. We heard on the radio this morning that domestic violence figures might be all over the place. The witnesses cannot really reassure me in terms of the checkpoint figures. I have given them my own direct personal experience, and the personal experience of other people I met in court on a different day, which belies the narrative the witnesses have put forward, which is that the problems in the system have been corrected. That is what we are trying to get to the bottom of.
