Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:
Yes, they are. We were asked about the gravity with which we take this audit. Mr. Michael O'Sullivan was only recently appointed assistant commissioner by the Policing Authority. Such is the gravity that I take this situation with, I have not assigned him any responsibility other than sole responsibility for dealing with this matter. He has given a commitment that he will provide a report within three months. He will provide a report within one month to the authority. For the information of the committee, there was an independent review or examination announced by Government. We will very much welcome that. As part of the work that Mr. O'Sullivan will do, he and his team will be there to support whatever that investigation is.
