Deputy Costello, what we are doing here is reflecting within this report what has come out of the hearings the committee has held, as well as the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. For example, we have not touched on the issue of cross-Border offences because it was not included in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report and did not come up in the course of the hearings. The issue of the GoSafe cameras did arise and we have made recommendations there in respect of the contract itself, how it is working and is operated and so on. All we can do is recommend to the Minister that the recommendations be taken on board for future consideration of that system. We will look again at the recommendations and findings and determine whether we can tighten up on some of them.
