Does Mr. Culhane see An Garda Síochána, from a financial perspective, as a series of pigeonholes? Is it the case that once a matter is out of his pigeonhole, it is in another person's and he does not have to worry about it?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)

Marc MacSharry: ...airwaves this morning. I was at most of last week's meeting, except for the end, but there were contradictions before that, particularly in terms of assessment of potential for criminality. The Garda Commissioner clearly stated there was no question of that but Mr. Barrett was less sure. I agree very much with Deputy Kelly in his sentiments about how deep we can go.

Marc MacSharry: I am nearly finished now. With regard to the members of An Garda Síochána who have gone off of their own accord to study law or other things, is there a practice within the force to tap into that resource? If a garda had been assigned to Pearse Street Garda Station, had studied law and was called to the Bar, is he or she being kept on the beat or is it recognised that the garda...
