Picking up on some of the questions from Deputies Daly, O'Callaghan and Wallace, is it fair to say as a result of the manner in which Ms Feehily has commented on the primary responsibility being with the Minister and the manner in which the Policing Authority's powers are outlined, the threshold at which the authority may recommend the removal of a Commissioner is almost impossibly high for the authority to meet? Is that Ms Feehily's interpretation of it? Can I also take it from some of her comments that in the context of the appointments process and some of the appointments processes for other ranks, she believes the Policing Authority's power over appointments is inadequate and it is one of the powers where she would recommend to the Minister that the Policing Authority be given full independence?
