My final question is directed towards Transparency International. Mr. Devitt spoke earlier about the possibility of an oversight function for a committee within the Houses of the Oireachtas having some form of oversight over the administration of justice be it in parallel with the likes of GSOC, the Garda Inspectorate or the policing board. Could he provide some more of his views or those of Transparency International about whether something like that could be implemented within the Houses of the Oireachtas? I suppose it depends entirely on the outcome of this process but what is Mr. Devitt's view?
