I have two or three questions for Commissioner Harris. I have heard what he said. I think it was Mr. Collins who referred to the Commissioner's experience in another jurisdiction, namely, the North. What can we learn from policing oversight in the Six Counties? Did Commissioner Harris notice a difference in the culture or in prosecuting? Does he think the ICCL's suggestion to remove all prosecutorial powers from An Garda Síochána might be a good idea to free up gardaí for policing work?
