David Cullinane: ...they were asked about why they did not give information to the Comptroller and Auditor General's office, they said that it was to do with their superiors. We had middle and senior management of An Garda Síochána before the committee and I put the question to them as well. They said that the role of the Accounting Officer is very clear. The Accounting Officer has a...

In order that the witnesses will know, I have asked that the Comptroller and Auditor General's office would furnish this committee with a report on what exactly were the obligations of An Garda Síochána in regard to compliance with its Act and also with reporting to its office.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)

David Cullinane: .... We received a huge amount of information from Mr. Barrett, which is very helpful. It is documented and contemporaneous. We do not have the same level of information, by the way, from the Garda Commissioner. I would like to see us putting some structure to our work. First of all, we need to get all of the information we have sought. We have the incomplete audit report from 2006,...

Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)

David Cullinane: .... I would prefer to see a clear, practical and effective system of recording prior warnings included in the Bill. As it stands, it is unclear if warnings will carry over to different locations or if the Garda will be equipped to enable a tracking of warnings issued under this legislation. That means that a person can receive a warning at multiple locations without committing an offence...

David Cullinane: ...struck. Equally, from a policing perspective, I appreciate the difficulties. As for the issue of warnings, is there anything more that can be done in the context of the proposed Bill to help An Garda Síochána? Does the Garda have an ask in the context of the Bill or are the witnesses satisfied that what is in the Bill is as far as can be gone?

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)

David Cullinane: .... In fact, it came from a leak. We may have got it anyway over the course of time, but we are dealing with an internal audit report which was not done by us. It was done by internal audit in An Garda Síochána. We have responsibility to ask questions about that internal audit report. That is why we are here and why the witnesses are here. I mentioned earlier today - and...

David Cullinane: ..., which is quite substantial. Some of it is due to insufficient competition, which is a problem. Some of it is due to insufficient planning and not enough time being set aside, for example, An Garda Síochána's computer or IT system. Those in An Garda Síochána did not give themselves enough time and the contracts had to be rolled over. That happens as well. It is...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

David Cullinane: I want to join with previous Senators in passing on my condolences on the death of Garda Ciaran Jones, aged 25, from Manor Kilbride, who was killed when he was swept away while warning motorists about floods in the River Liffey in County Wicklow.

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: May I clarify a point, I thought I had clarified this at the very start of my questions. There is no dispute whatsoever that there was a Government decision to reopen six Garda stations. That is a fact. There is also no dispute that the Minister for Justice and Equality set up criteria that were then given to the former Commissioner. That is a fact. We also know that it was up to the...

Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána (9 May 2019)

David Cullinane: ...I am assuming that Mr. Harris understands why GSOC was established in the first instance and what its role is. It is independent. It said it was unable to ensure there was proper oversight of An Garda Síochána. In fact, it said it was impossible for a number of reasons. One reason was that it finds out about issues from the media, and not directly from the appropriate...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)

David Cullinane: There are the internal dynamics within An Garda Síochána that would have dealt with the issues in the Garda training college. We know it would have moved from the Commissioner down to the assistant commissioners, the assistant commissioner for change management, the finance directorate, the head of human resources, the CAO's office, internal audit, or GIAS, and the audit committee....

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motion (20 Jun 2012)

David Cullinane: That is more political posturing from the Minister. Why does the Minister not properly resource the Garda Síochána to deal with gangs? The Minister should not just create an impression he is doing something by producing draconian legislation that is not used. It is a joke.
