Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
(13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: The rules were not complied with. We are giving out about a group before us that does not comply with the rules. We agreed to an arrangement, but it was not complied with. Perhaps we might come back to this issue in private session. We are still here at 12.15 p.m., even though we agreed to stop at 12 noon and stick rigidly to that arrangement, but that did not happen.

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: I thank the delegates for the clarification of the procurement process. I wish to go back to the matter with Mr. Culhane and the Commissioner. I would prefer if, say, in Galway local suppliers could be favoured, but, obviously, they have to comply with the procurement rules. However, what An Garda Síochána seems to be doing, inadvertently or otherwise, is allowing some suppliers...

Catherine Connolly: It is listed on page 2 of the list the witnesses gave us. I am not seeking to identify one group. My five minutes will be up if the witnesses continue to check things.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
(13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: No. I have now gone beyond that and have a list before me. I am inexperienced in this area, but when I look at the list, I see there are procurement rules. An Garda Síochána's procurement non-compliance rate is approximately 10%, for which the witnesses have given us the reasons of security and sometimes urgency, but there is no such evidence for a lot of the items. While I...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
(13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Okay. The witnesses have given me a list. Non-compliance in the case of 73 items is unacceptable. This has been the case previously and I would have expected the level of non-compliance to decrease to a small number of items and cases of non-compliance to be accounted for in emergency conditions.

(13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I know. Mr. Culhane has said that. Something in which I am particularly interested is the victim service offices. There is a victims directive; a Bill is in progress in that regard and the Commissioner mentioned the provision of specific offices. Will she update me on the position throughout the country?
