Limited as the legislation is, I would have thought the authority could have done more in some areas and I want to home in on some of those now. The first concerns appointments and removals, picking up on Deputy Wallace's point about the Garda Commissioner and the authority's failure to recommend to the Government that she be removed. It has now been well established that keeping her in place for so long caused significant damage to the morale and functioning of the force. Does Ms Feehily believe the authority's failure in this regard contributed to that situation? Why did the authority not exercise that power when the bar had clearly been reached?
