I will take the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's point on board. I thank him for his tolerance. I appreciate it.

Deputy Flanagan is the Minister for Justice and Equality now. He needs to be more proactive if we are to get a better functioning Garda Síochána. The Minister for Justice and Equality can hold An Garda Síochána to account. Things are not being done particularly well at present. In the Minister's own constituency, a superintendent under investigation has just been promoted before the investigation is even finished. How can the Minister stand over that?
