Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

Mr. Michael Culhane:

In regard to procurement, there is an ongoing issue in terms of having the resources to ensure that everything is procured in compliance with public procurement procedures. The service we provide is sometimes emergency in nature, so sometimes it is not possible in terms of responding to certain incidents to comply fully with procurement procedures.
