Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Mr. Justin Kelly:

Yes. We had a large team working on this. All of our aircraft are flown by the Air Corps and supported by An Garda Síochána. We have dedicated people assigned to us from the Air Corps who work with us full time. We have had a good relationship with the Air Corps for the past 25 years. We have joint teams for all purchases and everything to do with aircraft. For these, we sent teams to Germany, Italy and Canada at all the procurement stages with regard to the technical specifications and everything. They have to be signed off for airworthiness and so on by the military. There is a long process with that.
