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:

The question of the investigation properly lies with the Garda ombudsman, so it is not in my remit. I have no supervision of that or locus in the matter, so I cannot give an update on what the progress of that investigation is. I know it is ongoing and that, presumably, it will report to the Director of Public Prosecutions. However, I cannot actually give an update as to where the investigation is at this time.

On the lands, the college has been asked to update Mr. Nugent on the present position.
