Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. John Barrett:

These are my words. Mr. Kelly drew to my attention a letter dated 4 March 2011, in the aftermath of the 2010 or the 2008 report. It is addressed to the chief information officer and signed by the then Commissioner. There was an understanding at the apex of the organisation at that time that there were issues in the Garda College. This is what Mr. Kelly referenced to me. He subsequently gave me the document and I have it here.
