Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Joseph Nugent:

That is one part of it. Another part of it is to release those gardaí who have been involved in back office duties, if I can use that phrase, around the country to be available for operational policing roles. Administrative tasks take place around the country and we intend to provide civilian members to free up that group as well.
