The decision by the Policing Authority to livestream the next meeting into the long-running and, as yet unresolved, controversy over 999 calls is a welcome development because of the scale of the numbers involved.

At the end of this month, Garda commissioner Drew Harris will face another interview about the progress of the inquiry into how more than 200,000 999 calls between 2019 and 2020 were cancelled.
