Alan Kelly: I am asking Mr. Nugent to ask gardaí and senior civilian members of the organisation whether they are meeting their SIPO requirements and have they done so historically.

Alan Kelly: It is 8.50 p.m. so we are all right. Mr. Nugent, as a Deputy elected for Tipperary and a Dáil representative, my role is to uphold the Constitution, legislate and, as part of the Committee of Public Accounts, to investigate these matters. I represent Templemore. I am very proud of Templemore. It is a fantastic town, to which the Garda College is central. I want to see the college...

Alan Kelly: Deputy Aylward asked a similar question, not the same question. I want to move on. I know Mr. Nugent has to have his ducks in a row with a proper process for everything. That is fine. However, that could take a long time. Could he try to work out an interim arrangement for the swimming pool and the pitches? The golf club is still active so that is fine. Could he please work on those...

Alan Kelly: If Mr. Nugent could come up with some interim measure while he is arranging the bigger process, I would appreciate that. I have a few very quick questions and a couple of remarks. I did not have time to ask Ms Barry from the Department of Justice and Equality any questions today. I am sorry about that.

Alan Kelly: I am not going to argue the toss. I will make a few statements and if anyone disagrees with them, they should say so. This is the easiest way of dealing with it. It seems to me that the OPW did not actually know what it owned in Templemore, in Clonmore actually. The Garda College was renting it out. The OPW did not know it was not getting rent. I have submitted parliamentary questions...

Alan Kelly: How can that audit of that Vote be accurate given the information that is now being investigated by Mr. Kelly? How can we be sure that the Revenue Commissioners were paid the correct amount given the volume of issues that are being investigated? Is Mr. Culhane 100% certain that the report he did is accurate?
