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. Michael Culhane:

It might sound somewhat evasive but the college did not report to me. There is a structure where it is an assistant commissioner who reported to the deputy commissioner. They would have been charged with the responsibility of putting the necessary structures in place. I advised on what structures were required. If they had failed to put the correct structures in place they, rather than me, will have to account for themselves.
