When we asked Ms Josephine Feehily about this, she said the Policing Authority found it frustrating that if the Garda wants to hire a clerical officer, it must get approval from the authority but if it wants to spend €10 million on ICT, it does not and that the authority has a narrow competence in respect of money. Should that change or does the Minister want to keep the authority away from dealing with this area?
