I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. It must be incredibly frustrating that so long after the inspectorate's original report, only 45% of the recommendations have been fully implemented. This kind of carries on from the inspectorate's previous very insightful reports on overall policing needs and targets. A minority of what it is recommending is being implemented. Does the inspectorate have the facility to raise this general issue and these concerns with the Minister or the Department? Frankly, it is just not good enough. My feeling is that the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland is just replicating the job of work that the inspectorate did a number of years ago. It is completely unnecessary, but here we have it again: work the inspectorate did not being implemented. Is there a forum for the inspectorate to raise this? Has anyone come back and apologised and said they were improving, or are we in a cycle on this?
