I have one or two questions for Ms Ansbro to start. One of the ICCL's recommendations is to remove all prosecutorial powers from An Garda Síochána. Does that include the decision whether or not to prosecute and consideration of the evidence in a case? Does the ICCL mean all the way down to the District Court, that is, that all District Court offences would be prosecuted by, say, somebody from a local State Solicitor's office?
