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

11:10 am

Mr. John Twomey:

We are involved in the planning and the preparation of the event management plan. We are not involved in the decision of the issuing of the licence, but we are a notice party in the context of the event safety and the management plan. When the application is finally submitted to the licensing authority it is then forwarded to An Garda Síochána, to the local chief superintendent for the force to be satisfied that the plan will enable the event to go on safely for people.
