They should be. If all parties are happy to hand over transcripts for full accountability, I think it is quite extraordinary that the authority does not have that facility whereby most professional outlets have a system for recording calls for training and quality purposes, especially now that Ms Feehily has told the committee that the authority gathers intelligence over the phone and in writing from a host of people. I am quite shocked that this type of record does not exist for the sake of accuracy.
