I refer to the newly established working group, towards which the delegates have indicated some positiveness and good hope that things will transpire as they wish them to be. When they make reference to a full and independent review, is it an external examination in tandem or are they happy that the current signalled work programme, under the newly established and newly led internal body, is sufficient? Will they clarify the matter because, as a committee, we will be discussing all of these issues at the conclusion of our engagements? We will have representatives of the Policing Authority before us next week. We will also have representatives of An Garda Síochána back and these matters will be discussed with them. Will the delegates give us a sense of what they would like to see happen now?
