Mr. Niall Cody:

We are subject to review by the judge every year. We have a small number and that is available. There was a review by the former Supreme Court Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Murray, which found that - I hate to say this in some ways - of all the agencies that were involved in this area our processes and procedures were the best. It is not a routine exercise. It is approved by authorised officers at principal officer level.
