They were not asking for Ms Feehily to sort out a workplace grievance. In her opening statement, Ms Feehily spoke about this being an employment matter and she stated that, therefore, the authority was excluded from involvement. I do not accept that. They did not bring to the attention of the authority for action any allegations about the manner in which they were being treated. They did not ask for that. In their professional capacity, they were drawing the attention of the authority to the fact that An Garda Síochána was not properly carrying out its function in terms of data classification. They flagged that to the authority. Oversight of the performance of An Garda Síochána is a matter for the Policing Authority.
