The Commissioner knows the question I am asking. Would she be better sitting down with all the chief superintendents and the assistant commissioners to deal with core policing matters such as traffic management, terrorism and Border controls? She is in here probably as often as the CEO of the HSE. Would it be better if she did not have to do any of these things? I asked for a proportionate breakdown. I do not consider this the Commissioner's core business, as a layman in the street, but it is taking up a lot of time. I am just trying to get a picture, for the people reading the transcript or watching this, of what proportion of the Commissioner's time is dedicated to firefighting, for want of a better expression, based on legacy structural deficiencies?
