What I am trying to do is to highlight the inconsistencies in the answers we were given at the two previous meetings, including when we met the former Garda Commissioner, Ms O'Sullivan, and the answers we are being given now. The Crowe Horwath report addresses the specific issue of checkpoints on page 45 where it states the problem was not linked to a reduction in the number of sergeants. It also refers to the point I made concerning different divisions. We will move on.

I also found interesting the point made about the apparent lack of knowledge when the internal report was done that the working group on the Garda Inspectorate report was up and running. This is incredible. How could it be possible that the author of the internal report did not know the working group was up and running?
