Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

As the Commissioner and Accounting Officer of An Garda Síochána, I have responsibilities which I delegate to individuals. There are three other members on the executive - namely, the two deputy commissioners and Mr. Nugent, the CAO - who each have line responsibility for particular lines. In this case, Mr. Nugent has line responsibility. In that line responsibility, I directed and requested Mr. Nugent to seek legal advices. As such, I am not really sure I understand the context of the Deputy's question.
