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 Finn:

I was aware that there was a review related to breath tests going on. It had not been concluded. I was aware that there were difficulties trying to reconcile the figures. As the Deputy might recall from our press conference, I went to the Medical Bureau of Road Safety and I got its data. That was the revelation that we had a serious gap between what we said we had on PULSE versus what was in the Medical Bureau of Road Safety.
