Moving on to the appointment of a Garda Commissioner, the process has begun and it is an extremely important appointment. It requires time to get it right. Given its importance, and the commentary Ms Feehily has given to my colleagues on the fact the Public Appointments Service is the ultimate decision-maker in terms of making a recommendation to the Government, is Ms Feehily's view that to get this absolutely right the change should be made now before the authority continues any further in the selection process? Perhaps the Government should change it now, before a new Commissioner is appointed, to get it right.
