I am conscious that one of the key reasons for the establishment of the authority was due to the culture in place in the Garda and the difficulties with regard to speaking out. In that context, and realising that the testimony given by the two analysts here spoke very much to that culture and the difficulty of speaking out in An Garda Síochána, is Ms Feehily sticking to the line that this was a matter in which the authority could not get involved? I apologise if I am asking the same question but I feel it is not being answered. How in God's name can it be said that this is an employment issue when the issues being raised related to the functioning of the systems? Is that not the reason the Policing Authority was set up in the first instance?
