It is not the most relevant question on financing but it relates to the Policing Authority. The Commission on the Future of Policing envisions significant structural change to the oversight bodies.

Presumably, that requires legislation. Can the Minister give an update on the legislation required to give effect to that? I probably will not agree with all of it but it would be useful to have an update. Related to that, the Minister has had some commentary on the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland and the appointments process for the strategic threat assessment centre and co-ordinator, although I understand he is considering another title now. Will that require legislation or will he establish it through some form of secondary legislation?
