Mr. John O'Callaghan:

What I was referring to was that the audit report and the recommendations in the audit report have been referred by the Tánaiste under the Act to the Policing Authority to oversee the implementation of the recommendations and to report to her on a quarterly basis. The authority has written to the Tánaiste since to say that given that a lot of the recommendations are due to be implemented by the Commissioner by July, the authority's view is that a report by the end of July would be more appropriate and the Tánaiste is satisfied with that. So we expect the report to come towards the end of July or maybe early August.
