I am happy to withdraw my amendment. I echo the words of Deputy Ó Ríordáin and encourage the Minister to reflect on it. One of the things the Minister said was that it does not belong in subsection 4(c). It is important to state these things very clearly. It would be beneficial to find a section in which it does fit. If it does not fit then we need to create a new section. Transparency, accountability and effective oversight should be inherently part of policing principles if we are policing by consent. It is important to let the light in for these things to be seen. I will withdraw the amendment for now.
