Just as a comment, rather than a question, to Ms West, I think over a ten year learning curve many of what were the very senior Garda officers recently would have been in the lower ranks, learning, I hope, before they got to their very senior ranks. I want to link the witnesses to this to bring the meeting up to this particular sequence of meetings we are going through. There seems to me to be a problem with the civilian interaction with members of An Garda Síochána. When Ms West talks about the fact that in this sequence of events there were meetings to review that she was not at, would it be fair to say that all the other people present in those meetings were probably serving Garda officers?
