May I comment on it? I think it is a disgrace that political cherry-picking of Garda decisions happens. I asked the acting Garda Commissioner earlier about the setting of the high-level criteria and he confirmed that they were equally politically set by the Department. I also asked him earlier about the criteria for closing the stations down and who set those criteria and he could not answer me. I would be most appreciative if he would furnish that information to the committee after this meeting.
