It is not possible to investigate properly this whole saga while a person against whom many of the allegations have been made remains at the head of An Garda Síochána. I repeat the call for us as a Parliament to call on the Garda Commissioner to step aside without prejudice for the duration of this inquiry. It is not possible for the inquiry to be carried out adequately while she is still there and it is not possible for her to lead the Garda force. The matter of the Commissioner's interaction with and instructions to her legal team at the O'Higgins commission must be included in the terms of reference but it is omitted although it is absolutely germane to this whole saga and must be included.
