Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Perry: I have a final question in that vein on the establishment of accounting procedures and voted allocations in the current extensive Vote which very much impacts on the operations of the Garda Síochána.

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Perry: What are they? I have huge admiration for the job done by the Garda Síochána in these challenging times where the force must deal with a massive change in crimes and sophisticated technology. What are the Department's biggest challenges in terms of its remit and that of the Garda Síochána? There are always issues and problems. People can easily criticise but we must...

Chapter 9: Development of Prison Accommodation in Dublin (5 Nov 2015) John Perry: I wish to comment on that point. I come from a business background so I imagine that when a guy goes into a court one should be able to gain access to every technological base in the world and scan, etc. A court clerk should be able to check whether the gentleman's name is registered and, for example, state whether he is on probation. Such information should be automatically sent to the...
