David Cullinane: ...worked through the existing processes, I am talking about the people who were the architects of the problems. Those processes did not fall from them sky, they were put in place by people in the An Garda Síochána. Acting Commissioner Ó Cualáin just used the word "flawed", thus admitting that flawed processes were constructed by people within An Garda...

Leaders' Questions (25 Jan 2018)

David Cullinane: ...Why do we have so many? It is because no one is ever held to account. If we consider all the crises over the past decade, not one single individual has been properly held to account. On Stepaside Garda station, the Tánaiste needs to examine the evidence presented to the Committee of Public Accounts. The criteria given to the former Garda Commissioner by the former Minister for...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017)

David Cullinane: We will get to that later. I am interested in the relationship between the corporate body that is An Garda Síochána and good practice. An awful lot has been said - as I am sure the Commissioner is well aware - in recent times about the culture in An Garda Síochána. There is a perception, with which the Commissioner may not agree, that when there is wrongdoing, failures...

Select Committee on Health: Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (10 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I have a concern about that. It is not that I do not believe An Garda Síochána should carry out such prosecutions. Rather, my concern is that some of the incidents may not be a priority for the Garda. In terms of scale, some incidents will be more serious than others. I believe a better, more effective and more efficient way to do it would be for HIQA and other bodies to also...

Chapter 13 - Development of ICT Systems by the Department of Justice and Equality
Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: We are not. With respect, it is a general question. It is outside the scope of the tribunal because it does not relate to a particular Garda Commissioner. To put it in other words, is it current practice for the acting Garda Commissioner to write drafts of press releases for the Minister? Is that a practice used by the Department?

Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána (9 May 2019)

David Cullinane: .... I would like to move on to the related issue of accountability. Yesterday, Mr. Harris made reference to the setting up of an anti-corruption unit, which on the face of it looks like the Garda investigating the Garda. Did Mr. Harris have any engagement with GSOC in relation to the establishment of that unit? Has he formally met with GSOC and sought its views, and if so, what were...

Select Committee on Health: Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (10 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: ...discussed earlier. Amendment No. 47 provides that HIQA may be the prosecuting body under the Act for the provisions that relate to it. As the Minister will be aware, some incidents might not be a priority for the Garda or other bodies. Obviously, not all incidents are referred on to An Garda Síochána. HIQA is the expert and regulatory body in the context of these incidents and...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018)

David Cullinane: It says this in the report. I will read directly from it. It reads: "This oversight role demands a delicate balance between accountability and respecting the independence of An Garda Síochána. In the view of the Review Group there is a deferential relationship with An Garda Síochána with a lack of proper strategic accountability being brought to bear upon them by the...

Select Committee on Health: Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2023)

David Cullinane: ..., are in agreement that a centralised recording system would be better. His point is that he does not want to get into a situation where he is involving himself in the operational matters of the Garda. However, it is a little more straightforward and not as complicated as he makes out. It is central to the effectiveness of the Bill we are bringing forward. If we are bringing forward...

Leaders' Questions (25 Jan 2018)

David Cullinane: ...in public office and the report gave us shining examples and illustrations of why we need a real change in Irish politics. One of those shining examples was the decision to reopen Stepaside Garda station. This was a prime example of stroke politics if ever one was needed. The head of Dublin policing told the Committee of Public Accounts that the reopening of Stepaside Garda station...
