To return to my question, how did the Commissioner react to the whole discussion? Did Mr. Howard refer to what Mr. Barrett had told him in the previous meeting? Mr. Howard found out about the issues in Templemore through Mr. Kelly, who informed him first, and then subsequently he met Mr. Barrett. Did Mr. Howard not challenge the Commissioner, who is after all the Accounting Officer, as to why in the name of God he was not told about these issues before? Did he not feel he was being misled in not having been told about them? Did Mr. Howard make those points to the Commissioner or did he not? How could the chairman of the audit committee of An Garda Síochána fail to make those points?
