Is it the chief administrative officer? In her opening statement, Ms Feehily said that the authority appoints the members of the Garda Síochána audit committee. In September 2017, it appointed Joe Nugent as a member of the committee. As chief administrative officer, he has overall responsibility for finance in An Garda Síochána, which includes ICT. Joe Nugent is also the chairperson of the ICT governance board, which seems not to impose any governance. Now he has been appointed to the auditing committee. Is there not a conflict of interest there?
