I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I would be satisfied if he could answer the question I am about to pose in the affirmative. Is he saying that at all stages the commission will be in possession of a complaint? In other words, if a complaint is made and the commission hands it over to the Garda because it involves a minor matter, will the commission, at some stage, be able to re-examine the case? Do I understand that it will have full control over complaints? While it awaits an initial determination of complaints from the Garda, will the commission be able to re-investigate a matter if something more serious emerges?
