Again, it is fair to say that the Garda Commissioner is accountable, in a number of different ways, to the board, the Policing Authority and the Oireachtas. Where somebody is not performing, there is an ability on the part of the Commissioner to try to respond, whether it is a change in policy or a requirement for additional resources. This will happen in the way it always happens. People are held accountable and if changes are needed then they are responded to in the most effective way possible.
