I thank the Commissioner for that.

I thank the witnesses, staff and the official from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for attending. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for assisting and attending today's meeting as well.

Is it agreed that we request the clerk to the committee to seek any follow-up information and carry out actions agreed at the meeting? Agreed. I would also like to acknowledge the work of An Garda Síochána, particularly over the past number of years and the successes that it had in respect of some major criminal gangs. It is the fruit of that. There was a feeling, perhaps two or three years ago, that the public felt vulnerable. I am sure in the city many people felt vulnerable because of the situation where some people felt they were untouchable. The successes in that regard are good and I just want to acknowledge that. Is it also agreed that we note and publish any opening statements an briefings provided for today's meeting? Agreed.

The meeting is suspended until 1.30 p.m., when we resume briefly in private session before returning in public session.
