Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána
10:30 am
Mr. Michael Finn:
I recall being here on the previous occasion and I have also read the transcripts as late as last night with regard to that question. The Deputy asked me whether there was evidence those checkpoints were not being performed. I truthfully answered the question at the time, that we did not believe so and we had no evidence of it. However, we conducted an internal investigation and Crowe Horwath subsequently conducted an investigation. It highlighted the fact checkpoints were put on the system which had not been done. We acknowledge that now, and we acknowledge these are the issues we are addressing now. Crowe Horwath acknowledged the fact that what we have done since has contributed to the situation whereby we are now confident that what is going on is going on correctly.
