Vice Chairman:

In conclusion, I commend the commission on the cross-organisational transition project group it has established. It shows its proactiveness as an organisation in knowing that legislation is coming down the track at some point and the changes that legislation will present. The fact the commission is getting the work under way deserves to be commended. I compliment it on that and, as I said, on the design of its annual reports, which makes them very easy reading, especially the breakdown by division. It is unusual, to be honest. Each annual report is different and it is very hard to make comparisons year-on-year, but the commission's reports are very straightforward. Do any other members want to come in with any additional questions? No.

I thank the members of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission for their presentation this afternoon and their engagement with the committee. I particularly thank Judge McCabe, Ms Logan, Mr. Hume and Ms Healy for their attendance. I certainly found the discussion and engagement extremely interesting, as have colleagues on the committee I am sure. We will probably engage again. We will come back to the commission regarding the invitation to its headquarters, which the committee will consider. I will allow GSOC members to leave before we consider our public petitions this afternoon. We have further work.
