David Cullinane: If Mr. Kelly is saying he could give no assurance that public procurement requirements were complied with, would it be his view that in 2014, it should have gone out for tender again?
- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: Does Mr. Kelly accept what Mr. Kidd is saying, that there was a greater risk involved?
- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: Why would Mr. Kidd put it out for tender if there was a bigger risk involved?

David Cullinane: What I am asking is, what mistake was made?
- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: Sorry, Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kidd says he had a contract.
- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: This is what I am trying to understand. I will put a question to Mr. Kelly now. He has published an internal audit report.
- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: In that report, he says, in the four areas where he gives assurances, that no assurance can be given that public procurement requirements are being complied with, and this represents a high risk.
