Mr. Drew Harris:

-----and to the Policing Authority. Prior to that, I provided verbal updates in respect of the loss of this firearm. It was very topical at that time because the Deputy may remember that in November of that year, 2 kg of cannabis were stolen from a Garda station and we had another issue with property, which the Deputy raised earlier, and that was the two bikes that were taken from the station. A lot of the issues around property and our evidence management system were all coming together.

Throughout 2024, one will see that the authority being aware of this issue and spent a lot of time examining our processes around the property and exhibit management system, PEMS.
