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:

As time goes on and the technology becomes more commonplace, it does become more cost-effective. It is then that we must be sure that our database behind that is accurate as well. There are other issues around the data and data transmission. The technology keeps moving on. Things that were expensive and prohibitive five years ago are becoming more and more affordable and doable in terms of preventing and detecting crime. Even at the moment, if we have an incident, we try our best to flood that area with ANPR vehicles to hoover up and identify any vehicles in the area.
