Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: Go raibh maith agat as ucht an soiléiriú sin. B'fhéidir go dtiocfaidh mé ar ais go dtí an ceist seo. In regard to the Garda Síochána report for 2015, a number of matters were identified. One matter related to procurement, to which I will return later, and two significant financial risks were identified. The audit of the Garda College is a matter for...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: These are the official accounts and this is the caveat that was put in. It was put in with respect to the current financial matters, which always concerned me. If the Commissioner is accepting that they are certainly not in compliance with current standards, then they also were not in compliance with the standards that were there previously.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: The second issue relates to the storage and management of property, which is a serious matter. The Commissioner has identified that as a significant financial risk. I read the O'Higgins report of last year in detail. One of the items that jumped out of it, to cite one example, was the computer that went missing in the Fr. Molloy case. There are serious issues involved. That is one...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: Will the Commissioner clarify what property we are talking about? There is property that is essential in terms of evidence in court cases and there is other property. Can the Commissioner give us the details?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: Sticking with the property that is essential for evidence, how could the storage of that be a significant risk in 2017? What has happened? The Commissioner has said there were inadequate premises and inadequate storage facilities. Are there other problems?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: That is okay. What I am more interested in, and the more serious issue, is evidence that is taken and held in regard to court cases. I notice that this has been prioritised in the strategic transformation programme.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: If Mr. Ó Cualáin is back here next year and it is still a signficant risk, there will be something seriously wrong in this regard.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: In regard to procurement, I refer to the number of contracts, and that issue is raised regularly with all the bodies that come before us. There were 73 contracts. In terms of the high level of non-compliance with procurement regulations, which the witnesses have noted, An Garda Síochána complied with the guidelines with the exception of 73 contracts to the value of over €11...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Catherine Connolly: I did not use the word "contract", the witnesses used the word "contract". I am only quoting from their document. I know there are exceptions because we know from different organisations that there are exceptions but to have that level of non-compliance - I have been told it is about 10% of the overall non-pay - is extremely high in terms of value and in terms of giving an example to other...
