I am worried about the fact that business and community people face controls in running their businesses and they face the full rigours of the law if they do not follow them. We need to protect the reputation of An Garda Síochána and we cannot allow these practices to go on. Mr. Kelly needs to give as much information about what went wrong as he can, even though this is only an interim report. He needs to state what the structure was and what accountancy procedures were in place. Why were some moneys paid through statements and not invoices? Cash was paid out of the bar but if an auditor has to make assumptions about cash, he is saying there may be bills paid for which he cannot account.
