I thank Mr. Devitt and Mr. Clifford for their responses. I would like to pick up on what they said with regard to experiences in other countries. We have the transposition of the EU directive later this year. Particularly on the detail of the Bill we will have to enact in this country, are there practices in other countries we can adopt here? Mr. Devitt spoke about the experience in the Netherlands and perhaps centralisation of an investigation is not the road to go down, but are there other aspects of systems in other countries, especially in regard to penalisation and best practice, from which we can learn and adopt?
