The Commissioner said that An Garda Síochána comprised 16,000 personnel. The consistent theme from all witnesses in these hearings since they began has been, "I do not know about that, I was not in the post, I was responsible for something else, and they are responsible for that." When the Commissioner is asked something, even though the buck stops with her, she says it is the CAO's responsibility and he is retired. Is the organisation too unwieldy and can it be run by one person?
