Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (14 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: In fairness, Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin has given much evidence and listed a comprehensive amount of areas and topics which had to be covered as part of the meeting. That would suggest it had to be a pretty comprehensive meeting if it was going through all of that. Mr. Cyril Dunne feels it was half an hour to an hour. The Commissioner - we will check the record - says it was a...

Alan Kelly: Evidence was given. All I want to know is his motivation for leaving. Was it due to the issues in Templemore? Will the Chairman appreciate from where I am coming?

Alan Kelly: Fine. When Mr. Cyril Dunne asked for the report from Mr. John Barrett, he spent all weekend preparing the report. It was on the basis that he was to inform the audit committee. Why did Mr. Cyril Dunne not do so?

Alan Kelly: That is fair. Mr. Cyril Dunne met Mr. John Barrett in September. In the middle of all of this the Fennelly report happened. The interim report talked clearly about effective communication, obligations to inform the Minister, etc. I cannot understand why the audit committee and the internal auditor still were not told subsequent to that. Given what we found out through Fennelly, its...

Alan Kelly: Yes. Does Mr. Cyril Dunne realise that is completely contrary to the evidence given by the chair of the external audit committee and the internal audit?

Alan Kelly: It is. To be fair, I know Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin was not at the meeting. However, will he ask Garda Geraldine Greene, who was the secretary, when these minutes were written up and in what order? Were they written up twice? Were they redone and forensically checked? I will do that. Over lunch I made contact with her so I can confirm the following, but I will do a deeper...

Alan Kelly: I thank Mr. Ó Cualáin, although I would appreciate it if he would do what I asked him to do. I thank my colleague, Deputy Cullinane. Mr. Howard, in his contribution relating to 30 September, said the following: "There was a very busy agenda that day and at the end of this meeting this was raised verbally as an AOB item. There was no briefing given to us." This is the external...

Alan Kelly: I understand the point the witness is trying to make, although I do not accept it. However, the witness was at the meeting of the audit committee and he was aware of Mr. McGee's report - we call it that - and he was aware of what Mr. Barrett had brought to his attention, yet he did not feel it necessary to go into detail at that meeting. The Fennelly interim report has been produced but it...
