Lynn Ruane: Some of my questions come from a lack of understanding of the process and I will ask them so it is clear for me. The Courts Service is not included in the steering group. I know Mr. Brophy mentioned some work is ongoing between An Garda Síochána and the Courts Service. I am thinking of all the work done until the point it reaches the courts system and access to the courts. I am...

Lynn Ruane: It is a unique balance. This is more of a curious question and the witnesses will probably not want to answer it. Is there also a cultural thing there? I understand that people have been trained in a particular field and see themselves as having a wealth and years of experience. Is there a concern that people who are used to the prosecution end of this see the merging of the two as sort...
