We invited the Garda Commissioner because at last week's meeting we presumed that today's meeting would just involve signing off on the report but that is not the case because substantial changes and amendments have been introduced. The Garda fraud unit was due to come in at 1.30 p.m. The witnesses are waiting outside. I am told that it will be 2 p.m. or a little after when we commence that part of the meeting. We can begin our consideration of what is before us now. The meeting itself must finish at 3.30 p.m. or 3.45 p.m. because this room is booked by another committee. We will start proceedings.
