Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

9:00 am

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

Yes, it is being addressed with the allocation of personnel. As Mr. Nugent has said, we have suffered severely from the depletion, in particular, in our supervisory and management ranks. Following recent allocations we were able to appoint a dedicated superintendent to our computer crime investigation unit. With the commitment to civilianisation, we are keen to employ civilian professional experts who can provide us with support in this area. We are working with our international partners and academic partners to provide increased training. We will see improvements.
