2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

Mr. Joseph Nugent:

If there are specific incidents, I am happy to get more information from the Deputy. As it stands at the moment, I am not aware of problems with ongoing projects. As I mentioned, the funding approach that has been taken in relation to two of our major builds was through the PPP process. That has taken a long time to get started and we are still not in a space where a contractor has been appointed. I would share his frustrations around that particular approach. However, that is the process that has been put in place.
