Alan Farrell: Please correct me, Chairman, if I am raising this question at the inappropriate time. The Forensic Science Laboratory is located in Phoenix Park. If I am not mistaken it falls under the remit of An Garda Síochána rather than the Office of Public Works, if so, is there any net effect on budgets?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Alan Farrell: I wish the Commissioner and her team a good morning. I would like to begin by summing up these issues and events as sloppy, appalling and an unprofessional catastrophe. I think this will have long lasting effects on Garda morale and public trust.
