In most jobs, people take responsibility for their performance. It goes without saying at this stage that there have been so many investigations and reports. Things are not really running awfully smoothly. Surely the buck stops with the Commissioner. The last Garda Inspectorate report in 2015 stated that no one had made the change happen. The Commissioner was almost two years in the gig at that stage. If the Chief Inspector was to do another report now, he would find that things have not improved since. With regard to implementing his recommendations, the Commissioner put a guy - I will not name him here today as people get upset about names - in charge of implementing that in Garda headquarters in the park. He is the subject of three protected disclosures. I do not understand how the Commissioner can expect things to change if she is going to put the fox in charge of the chickens.
