I concur with the consensus that has emerged that it is better to deal with this by way of regulation. The Minister of State's explanation is satisfactory. He applied the caveat that it would be for the two police forces to decide whether an arrangement would be made with regard to cross-representation on interview boards, which would be very welcome. It would show excellent co-operation but would also apply safeguards from the point of view of both police forces. Despite Senator Maurice Hayes having a reservation about my reservation of yesterday, this might be a vehicle to deal with it.
