I thank the Commissioner and her team. It has been a fairly intensive two hours. The committee expressed its condolences on the recent tragic events involving the force. We thank the Commissioner and her members for all the work they do on behalf of the citizens, putting themselves on the line day and night to keep us safe. We wish her well. We support the work done by the Garda Síochána. This has been a really useful and positive meeting. I am told it is on live television, so I am sure many people are watching. I hope people will be reassured by the Commissioner’s comments and disengagement.
