Alan Kelly: There was a Garda communiqué. It is a book that was produced by the Garda. I will not share it, but there is a chapter called "Internal Audit". This is from 2001 and was written by a superintendent. I will not say his name. It gives a full six-page description of how internal audit works in An Garda Síochána. In fairness, I will ask the Commissioner to try to dig this...

Alan Kelly: That point was well made. As the sole witness along with her colleagues, I would like to thank the Commissioner and her colleagues for the information supplied today and also over the last number of weeks. There is still some information outstanding. When all of this is received and discussed the committee intends to report on issues pertaining to the financial procedures in Templemore....

Alan Kelly: I have one question for Ms Feehily. If I had more time, I would have many more. Given that Ms Feehily has been following the evidence to the committee, she will know we are all "mithered" from it, having gone through days of evidence and thousands of pages of documents, does she have confidence in the financial controls that she has seen in place in An Garda Síochána?

Alan Kelly: That if fair enough. I will now address my questions to the Department officials. We have had a whole load of evidence from the officials. From the last time the officials gave evidence, I have to say I felt very underwhelmed and concerned at the evidence given. Having reread the transcript, I am going to repeat some of the questions as I thought the answers that were given were not...

Alan Kelly: That is fine. I have a few quick fire questions. My next question is addressed to the Secretary General. In the last piece of evidence, the Secretary General stated there was a meeting of which he had no memory in June 2008 at which Mr. John Leamy and Mr. Seán Aylward were present. I presume that in the intervening period he has had a chance to consult with Mr. Aylward and Mr. Leamy...
