No, it is not about the Commissioner's understanding. With respect to the Commissioner, we cannot have a situation where we go from heads of Departments, to senior gardaí, to the Commissioner before the committee today and the Commissioner is still saying it is someone else's role. We have heard it from the Comptroller and Auditor General that it is the Commissioner's job, the buck stops with her and she did not do it. I ask the Commissioner again the very straight question. Why did she not exercise her duty in informing the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of the establishment of a steering group and of the irregularities of which she was made aware in July 2015?
