Ms Josephine Feehily:

Last Friday there was a group of gardaí attested in Templemore and for the first time in 95 years, they had to sign a code of ethics as part of their attestation. That is very significant. The code is available to the public, to communities and their representatives, who can wave it in front of any garda and say, "Your code of ethics says you are to behave in this particular way". One could call it outsourced, in a way, but I think we have added value, and the added value is principally in the soft powers of transparency, rigour, persistence and keeping at the oversight.
