My concern is that those individuals are still occupying senior roles in An Garda Síochána and are overseeing a large change in the Garda. I would expect someone who was auditing the accounts and monitoring that checks and balances in the Garda were operating to have some scepticism and check that what he or she was being told was correct. Does the Commissioner not concur that someone carrying out an audit function should be expected to check the work that is handed to him or her by those in the Garda, including the financial director?
