The Minister has more faith in the system than GSOC has shown. Given the decision of the DPP not to prosecute, I assume the Minister has sought and received briefings from the Garda Commissioner on whether the relevant senior gardaí have been disciplined, demoted or whether they remain serving in the Garda Síochána. I would be obliged if the Minister will update the House in detail in this regard. Can the Minister confirm that, in addition to the members of the Garda Síochána, the Commissioner and resigned or retired Garda will co-operate with and submit to Mr. Justice Cooke in respect of any possible involvement, despite the fact that the Commissioner and retired or resigned gardaí do not come within the GSOC section 102 review, in respect of which Part 1 of the terms of reference is focused? Does the Minister believe resigned or retired gardaí connected with the Boylan investigation come within the remit of the paper review of Mr. Justice Cooke?
