Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: Given what we all now know about penalty points, can Mr. Finn give an absolute 100% guarantee that anybody who ever made a genuine error like this one was definitely issued this second letter? I know of a number of people concerned who claim that they did not get such a letter. I would like to know that this is being reviewed as part of the current process, that such cases do not go...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: How do we know that every case went to Thurles?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I know it myself; it is my constituency. I do not think that the problem is there either. How do we know that everything gets to Thurles? Perhaps the witness could elaborate on that.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I am not trying to put the witness on the spot, but there is a possibility there.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: In fairness, I will not get into individual cases. I just want to make sure that all of this will be covered as part of this review.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I will say that to them and if the individuals in question want to take up the matter then let them do so. I do not, however, intend to use this process for that purpose.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I am limited for time. I just wanted to clear those matters up because they were on my mind after reading some things about the system during the week. We now have the figures, though I would have thought we would have had them from the beginning. On the issue of consultancy and controls on the €11 million, we spoke about Accenture and its contracts. Everything that Accenture...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I just want confirmation that this, along with all of the other Accenture contracts, had been tendered for. Accenture is a big supplier to An Garda Síochána. I seek confirmation that nothing was rolled over or continued beyond the duration of the contract that was not tendered for. Is that right?

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: That is fine then. I have no issues with that. I just wanted to make sure that every single contract, other than the one just mentioned by the witness, was tendered for.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I understand that. I would be very concerned, however, if they were massive and if there were huge amounts of money involved.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: Did Accenture ever provide any other services other than IT? Did it ever provide professional development, PR, coaching or interviewing skills to anybody in the organisation?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: There was no coaching, interviewing skills, PR or anything like that?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (13 Jul 2017) Alan Kelly: I accept what the witness is saying. Accenture does IT consultancy and it has never done any coaching or interview skills for anybody within the organisation. That is fine.
