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. Joseph Nugent:

It was a capital possibility to enable us to bring forward certain payments. It is consultancy but it is related to the delivery of product. It reflected a slowdown in making other capital payments. Within the flexibility provided to us, this was one area where we could make some provision and some payments. For example, if there was a slowdown in building capital costs which were going to occur early in 2018, this was dealt with within the allocation that is available to us for savings.
