I thank the Deputy. Before Deputy Cullinane commences I urge everyone to be concise in the next round of questioning as Deputy Connolly wishes to comment.

I thank the Commissioner for her comments, which are critically important. I welcome what she said about a meeting and agree that people feel nervous with everything that has happened. The college has a lot of facilities, which must be shared in an appropriate manner. I presume Mr. Nugent will be the person to deal with this matter. I understand that the Garda must get its ducks in a row and I know Mr. Nugent will do so as quickly as possible. We are talking about swimming pools, playing fields and access to the athletics club. Let us call a spade a spade and not avoid talking about the elephant in the room. We are talking about a golf club that has been established for a substantial period. I would appreciate if all of these issues were sorted out quickly.

I call Deputy Cullinane.
