I appreciate that but the witness must be acutely aware of sensitive decisions. To isolate one station for reopening based on an interim report is probably not best practice. People like to have possession of all information before a decision is made. That is basic good practice in any organisation. That these decisions are being made is a cause for great concern. I spoke to my colleague, Senator Neale Richmond, on this issue during the week and he is concerned about whether there are sufficient gardaí to staff that station and reopen it.
