I thank the Commissioner who is welcome. I preface my questions by responding to some earlier points. The questions put to the Commissioner by my colleague, Deputy Ó Laoghaire, were not ones which were initially raised by Sinn Féin or any other party represented around this table. They were points, concerns and legitimate questions from victims' organisations and individual victims. Labelling fair and legitimate scrutiny and questioning as somehow sectarian indicates a degree of tone-deafness to the complexity of legacy issues that is off the scale.

In response to Deputy Ó Laoghaire the Commissioner was almost blasé about concerns about the sharing of information cross-Border. He lauded the existing arrangements between the PSNI and An Garda Síochána in dealing with these issues. It is good to hear that because it is pertinent to my questions. The families of victims and survivors are still seeking the truth about what happened on the day of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in 1974. Will the Commissioner tell us whether An Garda Síochána has been given all of the information it has requested from the PSNI on the case? If not, what is the current status of the request from the Garda to the PSNI in that regard?
