Reference on page 5 to significant risks indicates property and evidence management. I do not believe he intended to be flippant but Mr. Nugent mentioned a property difficulty that arose ten years ago. It has serious reputational risk for the Garda if a proper system is not in place. I am thinking of the Maurice McCabe case and the O'Higgins report and a computer going missing. This is just one example. There is a new system in place now.
