Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: What I am saying to Mr. Finn is that it is bizarre. It is almost beyond belief that there would be no recording of how many is given to each unit that goes out. There is no proper recording. Now that we know that did not happen, will Mr. Finn bear with me? The patrol goes out and sets up a mandatory checkpoint. It then has to do a set number of these mandatory tests. I was stopped on...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: I accept what the Commissioner is saying on collating data but some of the information that we should have had, which I have given some examples of, should have been given to the committee. Two years have elapsed. The Commissioner knows this is a very serious issue for An Garda Síochána that goes right to the heart of the cultural issues she talked about herself. I am concerned...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: With respect, I wish to make a point. As members of the committee, Teachta McDonald and I are entitled to answers to simple questions that are put. I concur that it would be unacceptable if the Commissioner were allowed to filibuster and not answer straight questions. The Chairman has a responsibility, as cathaoirleach, to make sure we get answers to questions.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: I wish to put a couple of questions to Mr. Finn. I thank him for his earlier answers. He was most co-operative. I come back to the mandatory alcohol testing issue. Who has responsibility for management of the initiative?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: It was a very serious gap, of almost 1 million. On Mr. Finn's current role as a manager, while he obviously cannot be held culpable for previous failures, surely he would have been very alarmed at what he saw?
