I accept the assistant commissioner does not have all the details with him. I request that he write to the committee stating on what date he was asked to do the report and provide the correspondence that shows he was asked to do it. He might also provide the documentation to which he just referred.

As part of the process, on numerous occasions witnesses described this as a bottom-up approach - I can quote these references if Mr. O'Driscoll wishes - and that basically the most important component of the process was that everybody from the rank and file, which was the term used in the relevant passages, all the way up was consulted on making the decisions on reopening Garda stations under the criteria defined by the Department and subsequently under the criteria defined by An Garda Síochána. Is that correct?
