Mr. Noel Waters:

When the interim audit report was received, it was made clear a range of measures were accompanying it to address the issues in it. That programme, as I understand it, is under way under the leadership of the chief administrative officer of An Garda Síochána. It includes external accountants and advisers to get to the bottom of the issue and put in place new measures and procedures to ensure any issues that have arisen will not reoccur. That process is under way.
