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

Mr. John Barrett:

I learned of that yesterday. I can make no comment on it other than the fact the only corroboration I have in my calendar is when Michael Howard, who was the chairman of the audit committee, came to see me for that one meeting on 2 June 2016, 11 months after. He came equipped with a report he got from Mr. Kelly and he seemed to have had that for only a brief period. Whether it was done orally or whether there was a big discussion, I cannot say. I do not attend those meetings. Mr. Kelly can vouch for when he gave it to Mr. Howard, and that was ten months later or whatever.
