I can see where the Commissioner is coming from, but I am concerned about the current situation. We have been advised of the reporting requirements and that GSOC will now examine a number of transactions. The Commissioner might enlighten me as to the current guidelines for the Garda receiving State funding. How does it prove something to the State? Like all other State agencies, is the Garda Síochána currently required to get a tax clearance certificate for moneys that it receives from the State?
