Ms Josephine Feehily:

I am sorry to interrupt but I wish to comment on that. This is an enormously important piece of work. If there were a performance management system in place for members of the Garda, conversations about performance relating to mandatory alcohol checkpoints and the like should take place in a performance management and development context. Next year's plan will include a section in it regarding governance and stewardship and we will put very strong emphasis on ensuring that the performance management system does not slip again. It is a huge absence in any modern organisation and we are quite determined to keep our boot on it. I just wanted to connect it with the earlier conversation. It is a much better framework for a conversation about individual performance to do it in a performance management system. The absence of it means there is only one place for it which is discipline, and that is not always the right place.
