Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

Yes. We are entirely supportive of that. I am on record speaking about the value of the JPCs. Any JPC I have attended has been of great value. Local elected representatives are able to raise live issues directly. That is incredibly important for local accountability and gardaí being seen to be responding effectively to local issues.
