Ms Anne Barry:

As I said, the Secretary General of the Department was the Accounting Officer until 2006. The money that was going to the Garda College would have appeared in the appropriation accounts prior to 2006. In terms of the issues that have now been raised, they appear to have been raised in an incomplete report in 2006, another report in 2008 and an updated report completed in 2010. All those reports were produced after the Commissioner took up the role of Accounting Officer. Prior to 2006, there was no visibility of the issues in the Garda College.
