Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) John Brady: One of your predecessors, Commissioner O'Sullivan, had stated in evidence here before the committee that the Cabra account, or balances in the account at that point of concern, had ranged from between €5,000 to €90,000.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) John Brady: Okay. You might furnish the committee with a note on whether there is ongoing with the Garda or if that investigation has concluded.

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) John Brady: I appreciate that. Deputy Ardagh raised the issue of CCTV cameras and what she correctly described as the low figure in terms of provision. In my home town of Bray, there is an outdated analogue CCTV system. The superintendent has told me numerous times that he has put in a funding application to the Department to have it upgraded to a digital system. He has hit a brick well with those...
