Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner
9:00 am
Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:
Yes, Deputy. Significant inroads have been made in this regard, not just in terms of the new training programme for probationary gardaí, but also the supervisory system that attaches to it. We are making sure that the new probationer gardaí who come from the Garda College go to training stations where they have a dedicated supervisor. We have also implemented, and I can go into more details if the Chairman wishes, technical solutions that allow for the oversight and management of an incident by the supervisor or the manager, and they can look at the workload that is placed on individuals. Significant progress has been made in that regard.
