Alan Kelly: They were both issues that were illegal. A garda could not be a director of a company and, obviously, could not be opening bank accounts.

Alan Kelly: ...of the questions as I thought the answers that were given were not appropriate. Effectively the relationship is that the Department of Justice and Equality is the parent of the child called An Garda Síochána. When Mr. O'Callaghan heard about the issues in Templemore, did he ever describe them as a speed bump?
