It is more than that. We know they were missed opportunities. This is not just about moving on. We have to understand why it did not happen, because one of the things that the Garda Commissioner was clear about when she was in was that there has to be accountability and transparency. When there were breakdowns in communication, if people did not do their jobs, it had to be noted, accepted and acknowledged. My point is that not one single person, from any of the heads of departments who were in to anybody sitting across from me today, has acknowledged a failure on their part. I stand corrected if anybody in the room is prepared to accept any failure, but so far, nobody has. We will have the Commissioner in next week. We may have to bring former Commissioners in at some point, but nobody has accepted, up to this point, that any of the mistakes that were made were on their watch or under the auspices of the offices they held. Does Mr. Ó Cualáin accept that, and does he understand how that is difficult for me?
