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. John Barrett:

Without Ken, as a go-to and as a source of insight and information, I do not think I would have been able to make the progress that I did. I have got to stress this point. It is not a garda-civilian thing. It is not four legs good, two legs bad. There is a requirement to look at the standard that is required of us. I think you have referred it to yourself in your most recent remarks. I am particularly conscious of the obligation we owe, given the role that we play in Irish society, to be whiter than white. It is particularly apt in our case, that our processes, procedures and standards of governance can be above reproach.
