If Mr. Culhane turns to page 14 of the report, he can see the two paragraphs which state, "GIAS can provide no assurance in regard to the financial controls in place". Reference is also made to "serious issues of concern". The report also states that at that stage, in 2008, "we sought to conduct an audit of the financial controls in the Garda College but we were informed that the Finance Directorate were updating the financial systems in the College and advised that we await the outcome of this work." The last line states, "We have sought access to this report on several occasions since but have been told that it is still in draft, a version of the report has however been provided to Management in the College." The GIAS sought the draft several times and never got it. Did Mr. Culhane make the decision not to give it that draft?
