Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority

9:00 am

Ms Josephine Feehily:

The Chief Superintendents' Association were unhappy with the tone of the Policing Authority meeting, where we felt that the strong responsibilities rested at their level for the governance and supervision issues around all of this. They suggested to us that there were reasons. We met them and we heard them. They showed us a copy but they did not give it to us. It did not change our mind that they were responsible as chief superintendents. At the heart of this breath test issue was a supervision issue and a performance accountability issue for them.
