The Commissioner held a press conference on Monday and she announced the Garda would carry out an internal audit. Did she not think that this was serious enough that an outside body should have conducted the audit for the Garda? Given that the problem arose within the force, did she not think it would have been more appropriate for an outside body to have carried out this audit? It took the Cabinet last Tuesday to decide to carry out an outside investigation. Did she not think that this was serious enough that it warranted bringing in independent external expert to carry the audit out?
