Mr. O'Callaghan's colleague, Mr. Waters, has said that if there is mismanagement of public finances obviously the Department will take that very seriously. I appreciate all the witnesses' bona fides in that regard. Could the Department do anything further on this matter that is not being done at present to allay the public's concerns? As the witnesses will appreciate, we are under pressure to represent the public at large who want to have confidence in the Garda. To use the analogy again, the Department is neither the driver nor the back-seat passenger. What can we do to ensure this does not arise again?
