Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There is also a point, which was made by the chief administrative officer of An Garda Síochána when he was here, that these capital projects are the responsibility of OPW but the specification of minimum safety standards that are required for prisoners being held, let us say, in cells in Garda stations, is definitely a matter for An Garda Síochána. It might be worth referring it to An Garda Síochána as well for its view, and whether it has issued a minimum requirement specification to be put into a contract by OPW.
