Ms Anne Marie McMahon:

I know this matter has been raised a couple of times already this evening. For the information of everybody, there is a high-level group sitting to address this very matter and deal with the recommendation as set out in the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland report. That group was established by the Department of Justice, with an independent chair, comprising a cross-section of stakeholders. There is a considerable amount of work being done with international research and stakeholder engagement. That work is very much continuing and seeks to address the very recommendation spoken of by the Deputy.

At the moment we are working our way through it and we will await the outcome of the working group findings.
