Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

The main focus and emphasis of what we are trying to do in the ICT area would be to ensure that we have one record for any individual citizen who may need to be on our system and that it is fully visible to all other aspects of our architecture in the ICT space. That has been given primacy in the context of what we are designing and developing and will be delivered on over the coming months and years because we are at the stage where things are starting to come on stream.

I would have to say that there will be other examples because of the way the system is currently built. We need to get rid of those issues out of our system and make sure that any add-ons that we put in are clearly set up in a way that we record information once on an individual and then it is clearly visible across our whole platform.
