Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

9:00 am

Mr. Eugene Corcoran:

I was careful to specify that the matters I referred to in respect of the 94% were information requests under the protocols. The matter in respect of unsupervised investigations is an ongoing issue relating to where the record of completion of files is not as positive as we would wish. Historically, that has been associated with the fact that the personnel engaged in the investigations, largely district officers or superintendents throughout the country, have a heavy workload otherwise. While we are addressing the issue of improvements in respect of the section 94 investigations, they are entirely separate from the requests from GSOC to facilitate investigations it undertakes and information it seeks in that regard.
