I would like to ask a genuine question about the frequency of such transfers. Why did the Commissioner not transfer into a Garda vehicle? Were there firearms on board the PSNI vehicle? I presume this was a close protection vehicle and, therefore, it is likely that there were firearms on board. Is that par for the course in the interaction we have with the PSNI? I ask the Commissioner to clarify these matters for me.
