Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

In the main, a section 41 communication is a written one and I have to complete a return of those communications every year. There is, therefore, more a formal process of writing a letter as opposed to a verbal communication. Inevitably, I write to the Secretary General under the section 41 process.
