Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank Baroness O'Loan.

I would like to ask the senior members of An Garda Síochána a couple of questions. I am not asking them for their personal opinions but for their collective view as a management team. I refer to the establishment of the independent policing authority. I am asking them about this because we all have an open mind on it, we are on a journey and we are trying to arrive at a consensus on how we set up the nuts and bolts of this new independent organisation. What is their view on the board of the independent policing authority, on its make-up, its complement and its components, for example, civil society groups, the Oireachtas and local authorities? Have they any views on the membership of it?
