Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 12 - Management of Ancillary Services at the Garda Training College

9:00 am

Mr. Joseph Nugent:

We provided a copy of the report from the Policing Authority. It confirmed that in its opinion, 11 of the 19 recommendations have now been completed. The employees issue will be resolved before the end of the year, which will also allow us to close bank accounts, which is also a consideration. We will be left with broader elements that in some ways were reliant on other entities. These include the conclusion of the procurement of food, which will happen around the first quarter of next year; and the transfer of land, which will take an amount of time and will have an impact on the wind-up of the Garda College Sportsfield Company Limited. It is most important to say that particularly with the closure of the bank accounts and regularisation of employee status, the general infrastructure and procedures around the college will have been moved to a very different place from where they were this time last year.
