He had asked that remarks or allegations made impugning the reputation of the internal auditor either be withdrawn by the head of finance, Mr. Culhane, or that a superior authority intervene to overturn them. We questioned the Commissioner at length on this today. She told us that her response was to seek legal advice. We await further clarification on those matters. Can I ask Ms Feehily to put on the record, from the point of view of the Policing Authority, the view that she would take of any interference undermining or frustrating the work of the internal auditor?
