Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017)

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

Catherine Connolly: It is very difficult for all of us in this environment. We are here as a public accounts committee. I just want to go back to the kernel.

That is for the Commissioner to answer the next day when she is...
