Catherine Connolly: I read the transcript of an earlier meeting when Ms Josephine Feehily talked about a conflict of interest, though it was not on a personal basis.

Catherine Connolly: It was said that there were 94 contracts under procurement. An Garda Síochána is not unlike any other organisation but I believe there is an extra responsibility on the force when it comes to procurement. The number of contracts that are not compliant is unfortunate. Are they the same as the ones Mr. Kelly looked at?
