I have one more question. As this matter has been referred to, I will not go over it in great detail. I refer to the relationship between the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission and An Garda Síochána. We have all read about the complaints from GSOC in the stories which have appeared in the newspapers this week. What is the relationship like? Is it good? Is there good interaction? The ombudsman is supposed to look at what is happening in An Garda Síochána, but the reports in the newspapers did not sound good. They made for very bad reading.
