Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I support Senator O'Toole on this important issue. I agree with Senator O'Toole that this issue could be examined when the review happens in five years time. There are ways around it. There could be a clause that specifies that a person could have the option of having his or her investigation done in private. Some matters may be very sensitive and if a person has a very good case, he or she may not mind its being in public. There is much merit in Senator O'Toole's suggestion that this can be observed over the next five years.
