My next question relates to evidence given in respect of Bray Garda station. I refer to the photograph of the evidence room in Bray Garda station in 2012 which I am holding up. This has been published in the media. I showed it to people when it was in the newspaper and they thought it was a photograph of a skip. There has been an internal review through the professional standards unit and various statistics have been provided in respect of files not being found and so on. I presume this is no longer the case anywhere in Ireland and that the evidence rooms in all Garda stations are maintained properly. There is no way in which cases can be investigated and prosecuted properly if evidence is maintained like this.
