I, too, read the 37 page submission from the GRA. As Senator Gerard P. Craughwell noted, that body wrote to the Oireachtas committee seeking an appearance before it to expand on its submission. Its request was not facilitated, which is a great shame. The GRA represents rank and file members of An Garda Síochána and I am surprised it was not given the opportunity to address the justice committee. Although it is probably a matter for the Chairman of the committee, perhaps the Minister of State might explain why that invitation was not issued.
