I asked about the difference in the culture between the North and this jurisdiction. Commissioner Harris mentioned in his opening statement investigations by GSOC going on for years without any obligation to inform Garda employees. It is kind of similar to some of the debate that has come from the mid-west area recently in that investigations are going along for a long time. Given some of the recent controversy, does Commissioner Harris think there has been a difference in the culture and in discretion between the North and the South?
