Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: I do not say Mr. Kelly is here. He deleted a vital paragraph based on assurances that action was being taken. Who gave him those assurances?

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: That is what I am trying to establish exactly. Mr. Kelly's view now is that those assurances were not worth the paper they were written on. Would that be a fair-----

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: Who does he believe duped him? Perhaps he should name offices rather than individuals.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: Does Mr. Kelly agree that the culture of An Garda Síochána up to 2015 was to circle the wagons rather than to accept there was wrongdoing and correct it? Would that be his view as head of internal audit?

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: I will turn to Mr. Barrett. I was trying to establish in my head how all this was eventually unlocked and what was the key that got us to a point where in 2016 we had a report. He may not like me saying this but he deserves tremendous credit for the work he did.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: At the meeting of 30 September, it was raised under the order of business. A copy of the report was not submitted in advance to the members and there was an oral presentation. Was that the appropriate way to deal with it?

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: There is a pattern of a lack of action being taken over a long period and we are going to have to get as much documentation as we can. My final question is for the Commissioner. I have a different world view from her. I see things a little differently because I have listened to every answer she has given. When legislation is put in place, it applies to everybody. I have responsibilities...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: With respect, we need to get more information on almost everything. It seems to me that if this happened in 2014, there must have been an acknowledgement within the corporate entity - either An Garda Síochána or the Garda college - that there were issues that it needed to start addressing by beginning to make payments back to the OPW. I want to know what triggered that. Why did...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (4 May 2017) David Cullinane: I want the Commissioner to answer another question when she comes in. Given that most of the €128,000 that has to be repaid has been spent in areas where it should not have been spent, why is it acceptable for the taxpayer to have to foot the bill and that is the end of it as far as I can see? How can the Commissioner see that as acceptable?
