I believe "proportionate" was the most important word Ms Justice Ring shared with us in her reply. I will take that with me from our exchange today and I thank her for that.

Mr. Sullivan and Mr. FitzGerald are both very welcome to this committee as commissioners with GSOC, alongside Ms Justice Ring, the GSOC chairperson. Mr. Sullivan had an easy day, which is not always the case for the commissioner. I thank the witnesses for their engagement with us and for the opening statement, which has been very helpful.

We are at the end of our business today. The select committee will meet next week, while the joint committee will meet again on Wednesday, 22 May. It will be interesting to see how many members will turn up for that meeting given that it will take place two days before the elections.
