The Policing Authority then sent a letter on 24 May to the Garda Commissioner. This is in the helpful timeline that Ms Feehily provided to the committee yesterday. The Policing Authority stated that it wanted a response and four bullet points were set out. One of them was a Sunday Timesarticle with a headline, "Garda analyst washes hands of figures fiasco". Why did the authority not put in as a bullet point there that it wanted a response to the letter of 11 May from the deputy head who is conducting the homicide analysis? They seem to have been airbrushed out of the communication with Garda senior management.
