I agree with the Minister on maintaining public confidence in the Garda and protecting its professional standing.

The vast majority of gardaí are dedicated and conscientious, and it is important that we protect them. With that in mind, I very much support the appointment of Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring as chairperson of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. She will work together with Ms Carmel Foley, and I presume both Ms Foley and Ms Justice Ring will work with Kieran FitzGerald. I will confine my contribution to expressing support for the appointment because the question I had intended to ask has been answered.
