(20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: That if fair enough. I will now address my questions to the Department officials. We have had a whole load of evidence from the officials. From the last time the officials gave evidence, I have to say I felt very underwhelmed and concerned at the evidence given. Having reread the transcript, I am going to repeat some of the questions as I thought the answers that were given were not...

Alan Kelly: That is fine. I have a few quick fire questions. My next question is addressed to the Secretary General. In the last piece of evidence, the Secretary General stated there was a meeting of which he had no memory in June 2008 at which Mr. John Leamy and Mr. Seán Aylward were present. I presume that in the intervening period he has had a chance to consult with Mr. Aylward and Mr. Leamy...

Alan Kelly: I understand that, but surely Mr. Waters can pick up the phone and ring them.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed)
(20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: Is Mr. Waters saying that in order to find out what happened at a meeting, at which he was present, he is refusing to ring the people who were at the meeting?

Alan Kelly: I still do not see how that is inappropriate. It would help Mr. Waters.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed)
(20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: Fine. The issue is that Mr. Waters feels it is inappropriate to ask his predecessor, Mr. Aylward, and Mr. Leamy, a retired CAO of the Garda Síochána what happened at a meeting that seemed to be fairly crucial, but which he does not remember.

(20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: I fail to understand what is inappropriate about asking somebody about this. The person was paid by the taxpayer for the guts of 40 years, became Secretary General of the Department on a very high income, and Mr. Waters is saying to me that it is inappropriate to ring him and ask him what went on at the meeting, of which Mr. Waters has no recollection.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed)
(20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: I think Mr. Waters should reflect on that. The date this committee was set up is disputed some say it was on 2 July and others say it was on 27 July. In fairness, Ms Anne Barry clarified in the last session that the Department of Justice and Equality was made aware of this committee verbally on 1 October and subsequently there is a letter dated 2 October. Who was nominated to represent the...

Alan Kelly: On the last day I asked Mr. Waters two questions and I am going to repeat two of them again. I have three questions left. Does Mr. Waters believe that his Department should have been informed more quickly by the Commissioner about the issues in Templemore? Does Mr. Waters think it was appropriate that there was a time gap from 27 July - a date that is disputed and could have been in...
