I am a little worried about the designation of a single individual as a competent authority without providing for some form of reporting mechanism or scrutiny. Senator Terry pointed to the interesting dichotomy whereby the Garda Commissioner is the competent authority for one purpose and the Minister is the competent authority for another. It is one of those areas which yearns for a police authority or policing board. There is merit in considering how the exercise of this function could be tied into reporting to a committee of the Houses. Otherwise, there is a danger that ad hoc forces, about which we will not know too much, will be created.
