Ms Éimear Fisher:

That has been suggested to some extent. In the setting up of the Policing Authority, it was suggested that the roles might be rolled up together.

In regard to the implementation, there is value in our having a separate existence, from the point of view of independence, to be able to go into a situation and identify the problems and bring forward solutions. The Policing Authority has its strong role in questioning and calling to account the Commissioner in relation to broader issues as well as the implementation of those particular recommendations themselves.
