Therefore, there is a breach. We will look at ethics and disclosure, and perhaps Mr. Kelly can help me, because he has set out all this in his report. I refer to page 21. Under the provisions of the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995, officeholders over a certain grade must make certain disclosures and this includes gardaí of the rank of superintendent and above. The second paragraph states that Garda members, including superintendents and chief superintendents, have acted as directors of An Garda Síochána sportsfield since its incorporation in 1993. There is clearly a breach of the Act there.
