When we asked Ms Feehily why the person being audited was on the audit committee, she said it was out of her hands and she had no role in that regard. She was hinting that it probably requires a change in the legislation in order that the head of the Policing Authority would have a role. She was at pains to highlight that the head of the authority currently does not have a significant role in this area. Has the Government any appetite to amend the legislation in order that the Policing Authority would have a serious play in this area?
