Alan Kelly: I appreciate Assistant Commissioner Leahy was promoted in the middle of this process. When was he promoted to his current rank?
- Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Alan Kelly: I thank Assistant Commissioner Leahy. I only have three or four minutes but I will get to the punchlines. I apologise to all the witnesses for cutting in but, as they will have seen, the Chairman is being very diligent today. We know the second interim report recommended the reopening of Stepaside Garda station. Given Assistant Commissioner Leahy's role and his previous role and in light...

Alan Kelly: For the record, the assistant commissioner in charge of policing in Dublin is saying – I have no wish to put words in his mouth; I simply wish to be clear about it – that at the time and now, in the allocation of resources, there would have been other priorities ahead of Stepaside Garda station.

- Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: I have one final question for the head of human resources, Mr. Barrett, and it relates to this exact question. When it comes to the reopening of this station, there is an obvious resources implication and the assistant commissioner has said as much. As Mr. Ó Cualáin said the last day in respect of the criteria set, it was one issue about which local Garda management must have been...

Alan Kelly: For the record, the HR director has said he was not consulted in any way, shape or form. How can An Garda Síochána make a decision to reopen one Garda station, in Stepaside, on the basis of the second interim report when the assistant commissioner says it was not a priority in the allocation of personnel, while the head of HR says he was not consulted in any way, shape or form?

Chapter 12 - Management of Ancillary Services at the Garda Training College (23 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: I thank the Chairman. I am sorry but most of my questions will be in the form of a quickfire round because I have only got ten minutes and then I must go to the Dáil Chamber to discuss related matters. In terms of the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, we heard the last time that there were a number of people who worked in An Garda Síochána who failed to meet...

Chapter 12 - Management of Ancillary Services at the Garda Training College (23 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: Has An Garda Síochána done everything to ensure that? Has an email gone out to everyone to ask if everything has been done in relation to the Standards in Public Office Commission, if they are compliant and if they are retrospectively compliant?

Chapter 12 - Management of Ancillary Services at the Garda Training College (23 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: An Garda Síochána is not just a normal organisation. It is the protector of law in this State.
