Public Accounts Committee
2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore
9:00 am
Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:
I got the report from the deputy commissioner attaching the report of Mr. Ruane. I considered the matter and discussed it with the executive. I was happy with the steps we identified to be taken. It was clear that there was a 2008 report and a 2010 report. My understanding is that at that stage, no further investigations had been done. A number of issues were raised in those reports and we needed to understand what had been done with them. We needed to understand precisely who knew what, what had been done and that we would be in a position to be fully informed and fully inform the Minister. I also took the decision that we needed to have representatives from all the relevant sections in that group, along with the Department of Justice and Equality representatives.
