Mr. Waters read the report and about all of the accounts - up to 50 - and issues in seeking sanction. For the Garda to operate without the sanction of the Department or the Minister is to breach the law. It is a very serious matter. It is not a triviality. Did none of it spark a thought process in Mr. Waters' head? Did he ask himself if it was the right way to go about it or how one would seek or secure such sanction? Did that not occur to him?
