Ms Feehily will be aware that during the debate on the establishment of the Policing Authority, Deputy Clare Daly and I were adamant that in terms of what was proposed, the authority would not have the requisite power or the independence necessary to enable it to be a real oversight body and to hold the Garda to account. Does Ms Feehily agree that the Government needs to take another look at the powers of the Policing Authority?
