Mr. Robert K. Olson:

Owing to the change to the 2005 Act, the inspectorate now has the ability to determine, of its own volition, whether "lip service" is being paid. We have the right to do so. With the approval given by the Oireachtas, the Policing Authority will, from January, have a very clear monitoring function in respect of inspectorate recommendations. With that in place, it will be very clear whether lip service is being paid or whether something is really happening.
