I thank our guests for attending. We have a remit over value for money and ensuring adequate expenditure of the public moneys allocated to our guests' organisation. It goes beyond general checks and balances and, as Deputy Murphy alluded to, involves a consideration of the length of time investigations take and the results that follow on from them. We cannot do that without reflecting on some of GSOC's previous investigations. The investigation I am a little familiar with is the one that occurred subsequent to the death of Shane O'Farrell. If I understand it correctly, there were two different investigations. What was the distinction between how they operated?
