Okay. The last point is on monitoring use of force. The report states:
The inspectorate found there is no internal governance group monitoring use of force by garda members, unlike the other public services visited during the inspection. ... The inspectorate recommends that the external oversight of garda use of force trends should be incorporated into the performance monitoring activities of the Policing Authority and any subsequent oversight body.
This is a five-year-old report. Why is the Policing Authority only being asked now to assess the use of force?
