Grace Boland (Dublin Fingal West, Fine Gael)

I am very supportive of the work of An Garda Síochána. Its representatives' appearance at this committee is really important in ensuring the trust and confidence of the public in the fantastic work An Garda Síochána does. As the Deputy highlighted, we will want to go through a couple of points with the witnesses. It is important to ensure that issues, including those the Comptroller and Auditor General raises, are addressed so we can continue to ensure the trust and confidence of the public in An Garda Síochána.

When I looked at programme A overall, I noted it had an awful lot of spending items in it and found it quite difficult to ascertain what was spent on roads policing or domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, for example. From a transparency perspective, it would be really helpful if the key categories of the work of An Garda Síochána were broken out. Is there a plan to do that? Has this issue been raised previously?
