Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Effects of Gangland Crime: Discussion

2:30 pm

Mr. John Twomey:

We will continue to work as closely as we can with the community to give people the confidence they need to work with us. It is a difficult and complex problem. Once we get the information we need, we will investigate it and work with all of the agencies involved. However, we will carry out our own separate investigation. The work with all of the agencies involved is positive and good. It can be improved, but, from a policing perspective, we will look to protect the community involved and investigate. We will continue our efforts to do this. Under the national drugs strategy, we have an individual in place. It is a specific attempt to provide confidence for the people affected that there is a single point of contact and that it is a particular individual who has the skills and expertise required in this area.
