As a result of that promotion, the person ended up there.

I shall now turn to some of the other matters that were raised earlier and by the two witnesses who were here last week. When Deputy Brophy asked whether it was the Policing Authority's opinion that it had been specifically misled by An Garda Síochána or if it was just an oversight, Ms Feehily said "I do not think so". A report designed specifically for Ms Feehily's eyes and ears and for the Policing Authority was prepared by the two expert data analysts and presented on 11 April. This report was not directed to the Policing Authority as per protocol. The two analysts subsequently went to a public meeting with the Policing Authority and presented a very different view to that contained in their written proposal. What would we call that if it was not misleading?
