In such an scenario, the recourse is not to the Garda. The recourse is direct to the courts. In terms of time, as Ms McNamara said, much of this activity happens at short notice and people will not give the CCPC six months' notice in time to get its affairs in order. Is there a worry that the courts might somehow delay it and that might be an obstacle? Is there a facility for them to bypass the courts or is it only with the imprimatur of the courts that it can happen?
