I thank Mr. Kelly.

If I have nine minutes left, the Chairman might let me know after four minutes have passed. Two issues need to be examined, the first of which relates to the learnings and changes that need to be made following the various internal audit reports. We have the latest audit report, which makes recommendations and sets out the priority actions that need to be taken. It is important that we learn from mistakes. The second and most crucial issue is the need for people to be held accountability for failures, mistakes or worse.

This committee has spent a lengthy time examining the issues surrounding the Garda training college. As Mr. Ó Cualáin will know, we have published a report. Who in An Garda Síochána has been held to account or sanctioned in any way for any of the activities at the training college?
