Alan Kelly: So there was no change. Commissioner, let us consider of Mr. Barrett's evidence on the areas that reported to him. He found the structure to be the best way of doing things.

Alan Kelly: Okay, my last question is to the members of the force, in particular. Obviously, none of you were aware of anything before June 2015. I presume that on no occasion any of you enjoyed any benefits or hospitality or anything relating to Templemore during your time in the force that would have raised any issues with you. Is that the case?
