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

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

If I could just finish out, please. The issue was that we were compiling information. As soon as we became aware that the matters had not been actioned and that there were still different issues in the college that had not been done, we immediately informed all of the relevant parties, including the Comptroller and Auditor General, when Mr. Kelly began his work on the audit of the college. That was my mindset. I absolutely accept there are lessons learned all of the time. We have learned lessons on this. As I say, we now quite clearly understand that partial information is absolutely sufficient and I also take the Comptroller and Auditor General's point that with regard to partial information, perhaps they would have been in a position to assist.
