I welcome Ms Feehily and her colleagues and thank her for her engagement. I listened very carefully to the answers she has given to my colleagues. An answer for which I am struggling to find a word to describe is the one Ms Feehily gave to Deputy Daly, in which she stated the authority would only exercise its powers to recommend the removal of a Garda Commissioner if it knew something nobody else knew. If the dogs on the street are aware of a reason to remove a Commissioner and the authority chooses not to make such a recommendation, how can this circle be squared?
