Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Táimid fós ag streachailt agus os comhair an talún.

We need An Garda Síochána, and we need trust in the organisation. I am looking forward to looking at accounts on an annual basis as with all other organisations. That is what we need in a civilised society. This is particularly the case after the past few weeks, given all the tragic deaths and fatal assaults. We know what gardaí go through. There is a lack of training, among other problems.

I thank Mr. Kelly for his work on the audit report but I am struck by a number of issues. The strategic plan has not been implemented. It is noted that the Garda internal audit section, GIAS, is conscious that the ICT strategic plan has not been implemented. Why has it not been implemented? What are the implications of that?
