Mr. Harris obviously is on the opposite end of the argument if GSOC is saying that it finds it impossible to do its job, which is to hold An Garda Síochána accountable, and there is a difficulty from its perspective. Mr. Harris might have a different perspective, but GSOC is the independent body and it took a lot for it to come out and say in the very clear, stark terms it did that proper oversight of An Garda Síochána is impossible because of An Garda Síochána itself. I am assuming that would be concerning to Mr. Harris and if he does not agree with it, that he would want to establish why it has that view of An Garda Síochána.
