By way of information to be obtained, whether through the finance or audit section, in regard to the report, what we need is more information on the issue than what is in this document. The main chart, which is contained on page 8 of the internal report, is the only financial summary in the report. The final sentence on page 7 of the internal audit report states that the total expenditure in the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 March 2016 from the Garda Vote relating to the Garda College was €112 million. As the Committee of Public Accounts, we need to have a better understanding of the flow of the income. It is stated on page 8 that expenditure varied considerably from €24 million in 2009 down to €11 million in 2013. There seems to have been a base line of approximately €11 million available. Was that processed through the restaurant account or the college? Given there were not recruits at the college for a few years, why was there a base line of €11 million every year?
