I went looking for it as I was listening intently to the witnesses' contributions and I could not find it. I did find a Cara Ireland Limited which is a transport security outfit based in Howth. I just want to know, for example, who these people are. If those connected with the company are listening I am not casting aspersions on it. I just want to know where it is and who it is.

The table is a bit disingenuous. The reason given for not having a competitive process is "tender in progress". Without wishing to offend, it is a bit daft to say the reason for not having a process is that there is a process under way. Can Mr. Culhane tell me when Garda uniforms last went out to tender, in what year?
