Mr. Toland made the point about the need for the Garda Síochána Inspectorate to be an independent body and not to be amalgamated into GSOC or the Policing Authority. Does Mr. Toland believe there is a threat of this happening? The witnesses are probably aware that some Members felt the setting up of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland was really just a duplication of the Garda Síochána Inspectorate. We thought it was more of a political stroke than a measure with real substance. What is Mr. Toland's view on this?
