Ms Éimear Fisher:

It is a process. My understanding is the Policing Authority is simply building capacity and that the report on changing policing in Ireland is the first and most recent. However, we encourage particularly the giving of the report on crime investigation to it because the inspectorate believes the reports on crime investigation and changing policing in Ireland are very similar, as far as An Garda Síochána is concerned. One concerns the structure of the organisation and its management, while other concerns its core operation, namely, the investigation of crime. Therefore, we strongly encourage the giving of both reports to the authority. If the report on changing policing in Ireland is considered on its own, it will not be enough. We see the organisation as developing and building capacity.
