Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Mr. Aonghus O'Connor:

I will take that question. As I said, we are transitioning to a new accounting system that will help us to manage all of this procurement in a better space. In the meantime, we have increased resources to the procurement unit and the skill base of the people assigned to the unit. More of them are procurement experts. Both the increased knowledge, as in technical knowledge, and increased resources are making improvements across the procurement landscape. We have a journey to travel on this. We are not there but we are travelling it at pace at the moment, partly because we have the European Presidency coming in less than nine months' time, and there is a large procurement piece there as well.
