That concerns me because following the Morris tribunal alone, the final cost to the public accounts was €70 million, and arising from that, there was the Garda Síochána Act 2005. I am highlighting only some examples. There was also the Toland report in July 2014. I have to congratulate the chairperson of that committee and the civil servants who sat on it. It was a very good report, produced in five weeks, and it contained a number of conclusions and recommendations. The civil servants offered their skills to chair the monitoring of its implementation but that was not accepted. Did the Department not accept it or was that a political decision?
