I thank Ms Feehily and Ms Hall for coming in. Ms Feehily mentioned a broadening of the powers of the authority. What is her ideal fit in terms of the policing architecture that we have currently? The Garda Inspectorate appeared before us last week and it had its own ideas on the matter. The authority has made a submission to the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. We cannot have different approaches going forward if this is to function. The legislation has to fit. How far would Ms Feehily like to see the authority's powers extended?
