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)

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

I want to make two points on that. At the break in today's proceedings, Deputy Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin took the opportunity to speak to Mr. Kelly in order to answer the Vice Chairman's question whether Mr. Kelly believed any accounts were held from him. I do not want to put words into other people's mouths as I would be in the area of hearsay, so if the committee wishes, Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin can answer this question. Mr. Kelly has informed us that he does not believe accounts were kept from him. On the specific account in Cabra, as I said this morning, the fact is that this matter is now under examination and consideration by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, and it would be quite inappropriate for me to comment on signatories or otherwise of that account.
