I do not agree with the Commissioner. In view of all of the scandals with the Garda Síochána there was an extra onus on the Commissioner at that point to involve an outside agency of the highest integrity to look at it. Looking at this now, it looks like the Garda were trying to find out the extent of it and trying to contain it rather than accepting it was a complete mess that had continued from 2006. A report on it from 2006 was not completed and the report on it in 2008 was absolutely damning. Does Ms O'Sullivan accept that the report in 2008 was damning?
