Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2021)

Catherine Murphy: Can we request details of the core duties between GSOC and the Garda when we make that request, which I support?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2021)

Catherine Murphy: I support the point made by Deputy Carthy about a one-day meeting. I think it will be more coherent if we do it that way, although I agree it should be done in two separate groups because there is an oversight aspect in respect of the Department, which we have to drill into.

There is no doubt some of the new services are working well. I can only look at the spine that I can see directly.
