We are all tired after a long day but it has been extraordinary. I found a lot of the statements and answers given by some of the witnesses today to be shambolic and deeply troubling.

It is a real matter of concern for us because we are messengers of the people. We have to make sure good practices are in place and taxpayers' money is spent well. It is impossible for anybody who listened to or watched today's proceedings to have confidence in some of the civilian heads of An Garda Síochána in respect of their roles and functions. I have found today troubling, to say the least.

Mr. Ruane would approach processes, practices and procedures from a very legal perspective. What did he make of the shambolic performances today, and some of the answers that were given?
