  We present a detailed analysis of the ionised gas distribution and kinematics
in the inner ~ 200 pc of NGC 4546, host of a Low Luminosity Active Galactic
Nucleus (LLAGN). Using GMOS-IFU observations, with a spectral coverage of
4736-6806 A and an angular resolution of 0.7 arcsec, we confirm that the
nuclear emission is consistent with photoionisation by an AGN, while the gas in
the circumnuclear region may be ionised by hot low-mass evolved stars. The gas
kinematics in the central region of NGC 4546 presents three components: (i) a
disc with major axis oriented along a position angle of 43deg +/- 3deg, counter
rotating relative to the stellar disc; (ii) non-circular motions, evidenced by
residual velocities of up to 60 km/s, likely associated to a previous capture
of a dwarf satellite by NGC 4546; and (iii) nuclear outflows in ionised gas,
identified as a broad component (sigma ~ 320 km/s) in the line profiles, with a
mass outflow rate of dMout = 0.3 +/- 0.1 Msun/yr and a total mass of Mout =
(9.2 +/- 0.8)E3 Msun in ionised gas, corresponding to less than 3 per cent of
the total mass of ionised gas in the inner 200 pc of NGC 4546. The kinetic
efficiency of the outflow is roughly 0.1 per cent, which is smaller than the
outflow coupling efficiencies predicted by theoretical studies to AGN feedback
become efficient in suppressing star formation in the host galaxy.
