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:

We spoke earlier about Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin's role. As part of his risk governance role and the modernisation and renewal programme he implements the property and exhibit management system for the organisation. That is property that comes into the possession of an Garda Síochána, either by way of evidence, seized property, car accidents or in some similar way. Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin is in charge of that, and as we said to Deputy Connolly earlier, it is our view that that is working. The mitigants have been put in place and we hope we will be back here in the future.
