Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Alan Kelly: Yes, but there was not previously. I understand that Mr. O'Callaghan is only representing the Department of Justice and Equality today and cannot be holistic. I must declare for absolute transparency that I am from the town as Mr. O'Callaghan and I know him. The Department was not aware of the financial irregularities in Templemore training college in June 2015.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Alan Kelly: That is absolutely unbelievable. I am sorry. I respect that it is the answer. It is not a reflection on Mr. O'Callaghan.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) Alan Kelly: That specific information is important for this committee to draw a connection as to whether the Department had awareness of this.

They cannot have complete knowledge of what happened before their arrival. The information would be helpful to this committee...
