Mr. Herrick may also have a view on this point. Heads of Bill came before the Joint Committee on Justice some months ago in relation to the treatment of prisoners in custody. They included a section that would give the power to a Garda inspector to remove solicitors from a Garda station if the inspector felt they were obstructive to an investigation and interrogation that was taking place. That followed from discussions between the Department of Justice and, I believe, the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI. It was with members of An Garda Síochána in any case. Does Mr. Kelly have a view on that proposal? Is he familiar with it?
