If we read the report it is actually a very good report. It raises a huge number of questions, and we really need to write to An Garda Síochána to ask very specific questions based on the report. I would encourage the secretariat, and there is a bit of work in it I am afraid, to go through the report and refer it on. There are some very specific questions in it, which may need to be highlighted. Ultimately, there is a serious question about value to the taxpayer based on what was there beforehand and what is there now. The decision-making process through the Department of Justice and Equality regarding how it came to put this in place is one side of it, and another is how it continued to have the GoSafe strategy in place when the trajectory as regards the costs and value to the taxpayer was certainly going in a direction that leads to many questions.
