Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána

9:00 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

In respect of that, I would point to the mobility project, in particular. This year, 2,000 handheld devices or smartphones will be issued. They will allow fast retrieval of information from our systems. This will develop further in terms of being able to input information to resolve calls on the PULSE systems. We want to get to a point where members are allowed to stay on the ground. In this regard, we must consider our Garda information service. We want a member of Garda staff to be able to take details from a member who phones in and do inputting as well.
