Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I have two very quick points to make. Ms Feehily spoke earlier on about when a clerk had to be appointed. I refer to the €26 million and ICT. As I said earlier, the Committee of Public Accounts would probably have more capacity to look at that than the Policing Authority. Obviously, the appointment of a clerk through the Policing Authority would have to go through a process. This is nothing to do with the Charleton tribunal but it is to do with the Charleton liaison committee. Was the Policing Authority consulted in any way about the hiring of any individuals in relation to that and should it have been?
