I refer to the statement of the Garda Commissioner, Mr. Callinan, about the current situation. Under the current system, the role of the Garda Síochána is to witness the declaration. It is not to inquire as to the reason for the request for an exemption but rather to witness the signature which is signed at the Garda station in front of a garda. Is that correct?
