Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: It would. The delegates might also indicate in the note whether the individual who is secretary of this society and is presumably paid the appropriate rate of pay as a garda is also in receipt of a separate payment for his or her role as secretary. In addition, will Mr. Culhane check who pays the assistant secretary and whether there is a pension liability in respect of those two roles?...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: I take it then that Mr. Culhane would not, for example, question issues such as board members' expenses, salary levels and so on. Is that something he cannot or would not do?

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: I am just wondering about the allocation of €124,000. It is not clear that this sum is required to make up a shortfall or because it is needed for running costs or whatever the case might be. Is the €124,000 approved on the basis that Mr. Culhane has examined the accounts of the society and concluded that all pay scales and payments of expenses are within reason and the...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: That will be fine. My next question relates to the local policing committees, which see members of local authorities, Oireachtas Members and gardaí coming together to oversee policing in communities. Are these committees a draw on Garda resources in terms of the number of members of the force, including senior officers, who have to attend meetings? Or are they functioning well in...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: Finally, will Ms O'Sullivan clarify whether there is a new unit within the force, perhaps attached to the drugs unit, which uses dogs to inspect post offices and courier companies? Is that a dedicated unit within the Garda or is it a unit of the Customs and Excise service?

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: If one telephones and makes a complaint to some stations they will say it is not an issue for them but for the local authority or for the services for the prevention of cruelty to animals. It goes round and round. Recently, I read that they were asked to scan the horses and they did not have a scanner. That should be examined and fines in accordance with the legislation could be applied,...
