The deputy commissioner has not identified where the problems are. He and his colleagues are kicking the can down the road in saying they are looking at various things. Surely senior management has to carry the can. If I build an office block and the first floor falls in, the courts will not going looking for the fellow who poured the concrete or shuttered it. They will go looking for me. There have been suggestions that the rank and file gardaí who gave false figures will be identified. Does Mr. Twomey not accept that the buck stops with senior management?
