Go raibh maith agat, Commissioner. That concludes our engagement today with An Garda Síochána. I thank the Garda Commissioner, Mr. Drew Harris, and his officials from An Garda Síochána for attending here today. As it is likely to be the Commissioner’s last attendance before the Committee on Public Accounts, I also acknowledge the contribution he has made to the State.

I thank the officials from the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation and the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for attending and assisting the committee today.

Is it agreed that the clerk will seek to follow up the information and carry out agreed actions arising from the meeting? Agreed.

We will suspend for five minutes and resume in private session for 30 minutes to consider correspondence, and then we will resume in public session to examine the accounts, statements and correspondence.
