Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Michael Culhane:

That is our objective. I mentioned the medical services contract, for example. That is €2 million. That will disappear from the 40/02 list. The Deputy can see that there is an active programme. In terms of the towing contracts, we have contracts in most divisions and we expect that we will have that completed this year. We will remove substantial items from that list. There is an active programme in place and there is a dedicated procurement section in Garda headquarters which is addressing this matter.
