Ms Lois West:

Originally we probably envisaged something external to An Garda Síochána happening to ensure robustness and an ability to stand over it. There is nothing about the new review team, as things are running, that gives me a lack of confidence. It gives me greater confidence that Ms Galligan and I will be fully and completely involved in the process. As we have done up to this point, if we continue to have questions or are not satisfied, we will say so. We are working hand in glove with the new review team to identify the cases we believe need to be subject to a full and independent review. As I sit here, I have every confidence that that is what will happen, probably with the impetus of what has gone before in the past 15 months. Perhaps some lessons have been learned.
