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. Joseph Nugent:
I will answer that question, if possible. My understanding is that the only accounts in existence that we are aware of are the five we provided information on there; in other words, the imprest, restaurant, shop, CEPOL and central Garda fund accounts. To the best of my knowledge, all other accounts were closed and there are no interests left in that. The reason for the delay in providing the material to the committee to confirm that is that I had asked Mr. Niall Kelly if he would confirm that he is satisfied that is the case. He is at the moment. In relation to the private accounts, they were listed in the original audit report. That is the list of 50 accounts, or whatever the number was, that are there. All of those accounts have been reduced to the numbers that the committee is seeing at this point.
