I make a distinction between civil servants in ordinary Civil Service roles, if we can call them that, and those who are engaged in An Garda Síochána. There is a higher standard required of them. I wonder, in respect of the regulation of those people, if it is not fair they are subject to greater regulation and greater transparency in their activities. What was described earlier was a suggestion that including them as part of this regulatory structure was somehow unfair to them. I wonder if that could be addressed.
