I have a few other questions for the acting Garda Commissioner. In regard to all of the recent debacles and, in some cases, scandals that have emerged, what are the learning curves for senior management in An Garda Síochána in terms of dealing with whistleblowers and serious allegations? I am sure the acting Garda Commissioner has had an opportunity to read the Guerin report, the Comptroller and Auditor General's report in relation to the penalty point issues and the scale of maladministration in that regard and the Garda Inspectorate's findings. What are the lessons for senior management in relation to all of that?
