I welcome the witnesses. I always support the work of An Garda Síochána. I thank Mr. McCarthy for his report and opening statement. My first question is to the Commissioner. He referenced the last visit of President Joe Biden. I understand that a chief superintendent and his wife were accommodated at the Westbury Hotel in Dublin despite the fact that the garda is stationed in Garda HQ and lives in Dublin. Can the Commissioner confirm whether that is true? A number of Garda members have raised this.
