Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

My background is I was an IT manager before I had the foolishness to enter politics. There is a single point of failure, which is Accenture. It has knowledge of a system that has been built for An Garda Síochána, which means the Garda cannot get rid of Accenture. Mr. Ó Cualáin's organisation has managed to develop that situation where there is a dependency. I know it is trying to work its way out of it and it is breaking up the contract. That does not take away from the fact that that is what happened. There has to be an explanation. From the audit, we know from Mr. Kelly that there is no paper trail and no explanation. Presumably, as acting Commissioner, given the vast sums of taxpayer's money, Mr. Ó Cualáin has found a reason and has imposed sanctions on those who allowed this to happen. If I was in my previous job and did this, I would not be in a job.
