Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

As I said in my opening address, the assurances that we can provide to the committee is that we are addressing the issues. The further assurance that we can provide to the committee - and I think this is important - because the Deputy quite rightly identified the importance of the Garda College, the Garda College is a very important and integral part of An Garda Síochána.

Mr. Kelly has identified in his report at point No. 4 that the vast majority - I do not want anybody to interpret my comment as minimising or diminishing it - but the reality is that Mr. Kelly can provide us with reasonable assurances that the staff costs, the management of vehicles, the Garda College imprest account are managed to a high standard and are compliant with the Garda finance code. What we are talking about here is very serious and very grave but it is a portion of the activity at the Garda College.
