Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. Howard is a lifelong civil servant. He strikes me as a thoughtful and competent person. He was deeply shocked, had a conversation with Mr. Barrett and gave him a standard commitment to get back to him. He then met with the Commissioner and raised the issues with her and Mr. Barrett did not hear from him again.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: Thank you for the clarification. There was more than a general commitment to get back. Mr. Howard then met the Commissioner and Mr. Barrett did not hear from him again.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. Howard would have told Mr. Kelly that he met with the Commissioner. I suspected that much. Mr. Howard met with Mr. Barrett, was deeply shocked and asked him to make himself available for any subsequent meetings. He met the Commissioner and, I presume, told her how shocked he was. He informed Mr. Kelly that he had met with the Commissioner but he does not go back to Mr. Barrett. It...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: We heard of that earlier. Mr. Kelly took a very different view of this meeting with the Commissioner from that portrayed by Mr. Howard. Mr. Barrett's memo of 22 July 2016 states, "I have been informed by Mr. Niall Kelly, however, that Mr. Howard had a meeting with the Commissioner in the immediate aftermath of his meeting with me." What was the immediate aftermath?

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: It goes on, "Mr. Kelly, who has also had sight of the historic files on the Garda College issues, alerted me to this as historically there is evidence to suggest previous efforts were made to prevent these matters moving towards the purview of the C&AG by at least one former Garda Commissioner."

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. Kelly was concerned and let Mr. Barrett know of the meeting with the Commissioner. Is that because he had a genuine concern that it might be part of another ruse to stymie information? The memo states that previous efforts were made to prevent these matters moving towards the purview of the Comptroller and Auditor General by at least one former Garda Commissioner. Was he concerned this...
