As I was saying, I am somewhat taken aback that the Minister would ever be of the view that I might think the worst of him. That is a little unfair. All I am seeking to do is ensure that a level of accountability will be introduced in the context of certain aspects of policing. I apologise for not being present earlier and for missing the Minister's reply to an earlier question. Will he confirm whether GSOC has direct access to the PULSE computer system? It may have been granted such access but I have not heard whether that is the case.

Does the Minister have any intention of publishing the appendices to the internal review that was carried out in respect of the penalty points episode? Rather than being informed that someone said that X or Y happened, we would love to know from where the evidence came and the facts relating to the position on this matter. It is bad enough that the report was carried out internally and was not independent. It would be good if we could identify from where the relevant evidence came. I do not think the worst of the Minister at all. I have actually met worse individuals than him.
