Could the acting Garda Commissioner answer my question? All I want to know is whether the criteria are the same. The acting Garda Commissioner has read the criteria into the record. We did not know about these criteria, so that was helpful. There are criteria that I am now aware of. We know what was said in a Dáil question some years ago. The acting Garda Commissioner said that the criteria are the same. Ultimately, the documentation and the analysis by various Garda sections has all been put through the system, has all come through an Garda Síochána and exists. There is no question of this being backfilled or of reports being done now. This has to exist. It actually has to have existed from some time ago. I fully accept that the acting Garda Commissioner cannot publish the report, but I want to know that all the documentation in An Garda Síochána relating to those six stations, whichever stations they may be, exists. The acting Garda Commissioner has an opportunity now because this is a new broom. As long as the documentation exists, then everything is fine and justified. I just want to know that it exists.
