Mr. Adrian Kane:

I will let Mr. Murphy come in on the transport charter in a moment. Regarding the advisory council and the fact that it has not met, we met the Minister for Transport in trying to advance the three prongs of the campaign. The first thing we see as being really important is to have a dedicated transport police force, in whatever form. The Deputy missed the earlier part of the debate when we said that we were not being prescriptive as to whether that is full gardaí, specialised in transport, or whether it is something like the airport police, or the transport police in the UK. At the weekend, the Tánaiste said he was of the view that we should introduce transport police. That was not the view we got from the leader of the Deputy's party. Three Departments overlap on the issue. On the question of the advisory council, we need to have a form of engagement that makes sense. Even on this issue, it would be the responsibility of the Department of Justice and then the Department of Transport. As I say, on this occasion, if the Tánaiste is the one leading this, we need to have some sort of formal structure. Mr. Murphy might be more specific in relation to the fact that this advisory council has not met and the charter.
