I have one more question before I finish, but first I have a quick follow up question on that. In some of the submissions we received there have been very affecting descriptions of mental health incidents and how this legislation might interact with Garda powers. Do our witnesses envisage that there would need to be changes to practice or legislation around Garda powers or a review of those powers in light of this piece of work?
