Alan Kelly: We have been around the houses with internal audit. Our Chairman is qualified in this area as the Commissioner will probably find out later. Has the internal audit function been resourced up? This committee made a strong recommendation for the appointment of appropriately qualified people.

Alan Kelly: That is good to hear. Given the area I represent, people would expect me to raise the issue of Templemore. I see the Chairman smiling again. We know the recommendations have been largely implemented. Two have been partially implemented. Nineteen recommendations were made. One is the recommendation to implement all recommendations. We can park that; it is a rather unusual one. Is the...

Alan Kelly: I understand. Two recommendations are partially concluded. Let us call a spade a spade. These relate to land and community issues, including sport facilities. Templemore and the Garda College are synonymous. It is the centre of activity there and it is critical. I am a major supporter of it. I know it is taking time to deal with these issues, but I appreciate they have to be dealt...

Alan Kelly: I say this as a local public representative. There is goodwill from the community. There are issues that need to be resolved. Obviously there are issues with the OPW. I have spoken to the Minister and he is looking at possible solutions which are hopefully close.

Alan Kelly: I understand that. I wish to emphasise that they have to be solutions that will work for the community. Social contracts have been made with the people there regarding facilities. Given the kinds of facilities in the Garda College, there needs to be goodwill towards the community. There needs to be some give and take with where the training college is. Even if it takes a bit more time, I...

Alan Kelly: The elephant in the room is the golf course, which is part of the community there. It was very hard not to keep there. This is my final question. When I was Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government a number of years ago, I carried out a pilot programme to provide funding for CCTV infrastructure in a number of locations. It took a long time for that to be done. I am a...
