Members will recall the debacle on the misspending of EU funds for training purposes at the Garda College. The correspondence that the Garda Ombudsman sent to the committee on 20 January 2020 indicated that the investigation was at an advanced stage and should conclude in the near future. Recent media reports suggest that a retired Garda who, apparently, was subject to this cannot facilitate GSOC in terms of questions due to a medical condition, and we wish them well. Could we write to GSOC asking for an update, considering the public outrage that occurred when this case was at its height? We would benefit from an update.
