The Policing Authority has strongly criticised An Garda Síochána's handling of the financial irregularities at the Garda College in Templemore and the ongoing investigation into false breath tests and wrongful convictions.
The authority said in a statement that the governance failures were very serious and that action to deal with them should have commenced much earlier.
The authority also expressed its "intense frustration and impatience" with the delays in the report on the Mandatory Alcohol checkpoints and Fixed Charge Penalty Notices issues.
A Financial Services company has been appointed to carry out an independent investigation on the force's response to the issue.
The authority said the absence of a time-frame for the completion of the homicide figures report was increasingly difficult to understand.
The resignation of one of the members of the authority, Dr Vicky Conway, was also announced.
Dr Conway resigned in order to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest arising from her membership on the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland.
The authority said it has been reassured that the Garda's review of the Jobstown case will encompass the incident on the day, the investigation and the evidence as well as the events in the context of the rule of law, human rights and the Code of Ethics.
