Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

I wish to comment on our modernisation and renewal programme. It has been very much informed, as the Commissioner has said, by the needs we picked up from the ground in respect of where people were hurting, what they needed, what supports they needed and so on. The prioritisation of the initiatives in the programme is very much informed by the priorities raised at that level.

That is very much informed by the priorities raised at that level. We hope that over the coming months and into the next year or two as this programme starts to roll out fully and we feel the effects of the initiatives as they are implemented that it will fully support that. The whole purpose of that programme is to support the front line. Everything we do is in that space.
