Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) Alan Kelly: We will have to dig deeper into that because the Commissioner has opened a whole can of worms here.

If that has happened, that is opening up a whole range of other issues.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) Alan Kelly: First, everyone is expected to do so, so they should not be congratulated. Second, they contradict one another in a lot of their evidence. The Commissioner has been asked on numerous occasions if she has confidence in each and every one and we know what the answer was. Deputy MacSharry is next.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) Alan Kelly: Just to help the Commissioner, basically what Deputy MacSharry is referring to is that Mr. Culhane gave evidence that he was aware of all of those issues previously – to be fair, he commissioned one of the reports – and he pushed them up the line but effectively nothing happened.
