Mr. Justice Rory MacCabe:

I will answer that in a slightly convoluted way. Shortly after I came in, I had a one-to-one meeting with the Commissioner. I found him open and candid. In addition, the commission had a meeting with senior officers, including Deputy Commissioner Coxon. The sense I have is that there is an anxiety that there should be co-operation. There is a cultural change happening within An Garda Síochána that is being driven by the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner Coxon. We have a shared interest in that. Certainly, Commissioner Harris indicated to me that he would welcome regular meetings on a one-to-one basis between the two of us, as well as regular contact. I would like to think that will clarify issues and perhaps deliver a message to An Garda Síochána that it is in everybody’s interests that there should be co-operation.
