Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Hume:

I cannot speak in detail to this because it is not a question I have asked. I do not want to speculate, but my understanding is that they had brought the case as far as was possible in terms of the gathering of evidence and the assessment of the material while we awaited the completion of the OLAF report. Again, I think it would be unfair to characterise the relationship with OLAF as unhelpful. It took until the tail end of 2021 for us to receive the report, but I do not think there was a bad relationship. It was just protracted. It was not in any way bad.
