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:

Absolutely not, no. I want to be very clear. I have made it very clear, even since I took up the role of interim Commissioner, that internal audit is a key part of the internal structures that we have in place to give me assurances as Commissioner. What we are doing is very important. There is no doubt, because we have heard and seen it, that the structures we have in place need to be reviewed and robustly addressed. What we are doing on 27 June is taking the opportunity provided by a new audit committee to ask it to provide me as Commissioner and my team, as an executive, with advices as to how best that can be put in place, to repair some of the relationships and to make sure that there are proper and appropriate interactions between all of the various elements of the internal control mechanisms.
