I welcome our witnesses and thank Mr. Justice MacCabe for his contribution. I thank GSOC for the work it is doing. Indeed, I pay tribute to the work done by members of An Garda Síochána during the Covid period, when they were at the forefront of our State's response to Covid-19. Very often they had to perform tasks that in ordinary times they would not dream of doing. I thank them most sincerely. In the context of Mr. Justice MacCabe's remarks today, he spoke about the complexities of investigating wrongdoing and how it does not come cheap. I ask Mr. Justice MacCabe to distil those comments further for us.
