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 (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Culhane:
Deputy, I am responsible for the Vote. The way that things were set up in the college, they were effectively set up outside the Vote. We have reviewed and discussed that. With regard to how the college was funded, there was a stipend per week per student. That went into the restaurant account. The restaurant account was effectively the engine within the Garda College which then distributed money to other activities within the college. Currently it is the college administrator who has responsibility for these entities but previously it was the director and the college administrator.
