Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

5:35 pm

Mr. Simon O'Brien:

That will be for others to make a judgment on. It is important that since this information has come into the public domain, for the first 24 hours we were catching up with where we should go. I am confident now that both the Minister and the Garda Commissioner have all the information I could provide them with. The Deputy's questioning today of me and my colleagues is very helpful. I hope that as we put more information into the public domain, that will allay a sense of public concern. As far as I and the commission are concerned, we hope that we can move past this crisis point, learn from it and move on. The Garda Commissioner made a very kind offer about moving forward together, and we will certainly avail of that offer.
