Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras

Mr. Michael Culhane:

It is part of the Haddington Road agreement. The Garda Inspectorate is also conducting a review of measures within the Garda Síochána that may identify additional savings. I would not rule out the figure yet. Work is ongoing in terms of new measures to be put in place to achieve the savings target. If there is a shortfall, we must address it through the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. That will be part of the ongoing discussions with the Department of Justice and Equality.
