Public Accounts Committee
Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner
9:00 am

The critical thing I want to be comfortable with as a member of this committee is whether the witness, as acting Garda Commissioner, is of the view that the Garda Síochána should not have done anything differently with regard to this opening. The witness cannot see the concerns that exist. He has said the Garda went through a process and made a decision based on an interim report to open that station on its own. In terms of the leadership role he now has in the Garda Síochána, he now has a chance to break away and acknowledge things that should have been done better. Is he happy with that decision and how it was made?
