- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Homicide Statistics: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2018)
Alan Kelly: There were a number of changes in management. Ms West might outline, obviously not publicly here, where there were changes over the past couple of years, particularly in those 15 months. Somebody could co-relate decision-making with changes and see whether there is anything tangible that we can take from that. I thank Ms West and Ms Galligan.

Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (Revised) (22 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: I suppose time will tell. I have a couple of other specific questions.
