I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I want to pick up where Deputy Mac Lochlainn left off in regard to the role of the Garda Inspectorate. Are there any international examples of where police service inspectorates, similar to the Garda Inspectorate, operate under the auspices of an independent policing authority? We are moving towards an independent policing authority and I think everybody is on the same page in that regard. Are there any jurisdictions in which the inspectorate's work is carried out within a policing authority?
