We need to make a decision on this. What may potentially happen now that this has been raised, and I am sure there are lots of eyes on this issue as we are talking, is that something may be pulled together from the Department of Justice and Equality with An Garda Síochána, go into Cabinet next Tuesday and become Cabinet documents from which we are potentially locked out. We need to avoid that. If we are going to bring in the acting commissioner next week, which I support, it will be a very short meeting if he can supply the criteria beforehand. It will be transparent. We are not going to drift into anything else. It will be just this issue. It will be very short, although that will be if it stands up, which I doubt.
