Deputies may wish to note that I am considering whether there may be a need for further amendments to this section or other sections in the chapter to deal with transitional issues in relation to the dissolution of the Garda Síochána Inspectorate. This may include a new section for the purpose of designating one or more of the three members of the inspectorate, whose term of office would otherwise end on the dissolution of the inspectorate, as members of the staff of the policing and community safety authority, PCSA as inspectors of policing services. The purpose of this would be to ensure that the PCSA has the expertise and experience to undertake its inspection functions from its establishment. I just want to flag to the committee that I may return to this on Report Stage.
