Ms Emily Logan:
The Deputy is absolutely right. There is a significant amount of preparatory work going on in relation to implementing the Act, which now obliges the new organisation, Fiosrú, to carry out an information campaign, if you like. There is a positive obligation to inform the public and explain to the public, and increase the public's understanding of the role of the organisation. There are two things. One is the branding. Branding was referred to earlier. In all sorts of ways, a campaign of branding needs to happen. Engagement with external stakeholders includes the public, the Garda, the people who are affected by our work and a new website. There is a whole range of things that are being done.
