Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: Did the Department not know in 2014 that this had been going on? Was there not a repayment in 2014? Did the process of getting back some of the money, or discussions about it, commence in 2014?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: We have established that it was somebody's job to manage the process. We see from Mr. Barrett's letter to Mr. Kelly he talks about the returns that are done every year. It was somebody's role in the Department to manage this to make sure they have the funds they need and everything is okay and working fine. This is not personal but it lacks credibility. It lacks credibility to say there...

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: What did the Department do then? Presumably the Department went berserk and asked how in the name of God this went on. Presumably Mr. O'Callaghan has documentation to show he asked a whole load of questions.

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: I have read the entire transcript of the proceedings of last week's meeting a couple of times. In evidence, the Commissioner said she acted promptly. She repeatedly said she acted promptly once she was aware in July and she immediately set up a group and the Department was on the group. She said "I also took the decision that we needed to have representatives from all the relevant sections...

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: Hold on a second. We need a little bit more than Mr. waters' sense of it. This is serious stuff here. The committee was set up immediately, according to the Garda Commissioner, which presumably was July 27 or July 28. Mr. waters' sense of it is the committee was established and then the Department was asked to go on it by the email in October. Is that correct?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: It would go with Mr. O'Callaghan's evidence from last week. It was consistent. Last week, Mr. O'Callaghan said it was October 2015.

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: So the Garda Commissioner set up this committee promptly, as she said last week. She said she was anxious for the Department to be on it. The committee was established. As an afterthought, months later in October, the Department was asked to go on it. The Department was not on it at the beginning, was it?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: Hold on a second. A committee is set up to examine the financial management of Templemore by An Garda Síochána and the Department is not on it. This is fact according to what the witness is saying. The Department is not on it when it is set up.

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: I would not say the Department was foremost in their minds. Perhaps the Department was not an afterthought but it was certainly not foremost in their minds because they did not bother to ask the Department to sit on it in the first instance. We have established that now. Is that not accurate?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: Mr. O'Callaghan gave very good evidence the Department was notified about this in October. I have said before that for me and the public it is incredible the Department was not aware of the issues going back further. The Commissioner, to be fair to her, on numerous occasions stated that she believes the Department was aware. She said, "To clarify, it is clear that the Department had...

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) Alan Kelly: I will cut to the chase. It is something I do not understand. The internal auditor was not told until March. The Department knew in October. Did one of the witnesses not ask why the internal auditor had not been notified and was not involved in it?
