Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

As part of our modernisation and renewal programme, we have committed to opening up the organisation. I do not have the exact breakdown here, but maybe some of my colleagues do. The moneys would again have been spent on training Garda and civilian members around the country for interaction with local radio and local media, for example, on some of the information messages that would have gone out around Operation Thor and the "lock up and light up" campaign. Again, we can provide an exact breakdown or maybe some of my colleagues would have it, but that is what it would have been.
