Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Mary Lou McDonald: That was nearly two and a quarter hours, if my maths are not bad. This is problematic. I accept that the work is not complete, but we are reading the contours of what has been presented and it seems that these matters were not raised with the Commissioner as a side issue or a "by the by". She was deeply informed, briefed and so on.
