I agree that it is enormously important because it goes to the heart of the issue. The thread running through a lot of Ms Feehily's statements today is that while the former Garda Commissioner was attempting to bring in various structural reforms, there is effectively a systems failure at management level within An Garda Síochána. There seems to be a functional inability to deliver management whether in training, in performance or in the type of standard outputs that one would expect from a management team. That links to my previous question in that I believe much of that is what led to the whole problem we faced. The GRA is going down a slightly different route and has made a very serious allegation. Does Ms Feehily agree there is a complete functional failure of management and its systems within An Garda Síochána?
