I thank the witness for his time and I wish the acting Garda Commissioner the very best in his role. I know it is a very difficult task. Obviously, as he is entering the programme of renewal within An Garda Síochána, it is very important for this committee that An Garda Síochána's actions are seen to be transparent and that it is seen to have robust practices. The responses here today leave a lot to be desired. Is the decision on the opening of any Garda station a reserve function for An Garda Síochána?
