At the time the report was published I described it as a milestone in Irish policing and the inspectorate used the term "watershed." The report is a comprehensive three-year assessment which could not have come at a more important time when more powers are about to be given to the Garda ombudsman and a new policing authority is being established. This committee welcome these developments.

We have the report and recommendations but the recommendations need to be implemented. The inspectorate recommended the establishment of a criminal justice service group comprised of all the relevant stakeholders. Has a group been established? Has the group started to implement the recommendations made by the inspectorate?
