I move amendment No. 56:

In page 26, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following subsection:

"(4) Whenever required to do so by any other committee of either or both Houses of the Oireachtas, the Garda Commissioner shall give evidence to it on such matters as the committee concerned requests.".

The point at issue is whether the Garda Commissioner should be required to only attend the Committee of Public Accounts. I defer to the view that the amendment could be written more precisely but it is not necessarily right that the only committee at which the Garda Commissioner should attend is the Committee of Public Accounts.
