Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:00 am

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

It is a matter we are taking up with local management. The Deputy asked about the style of policing. There is an assistant commissioner in charge of the eastern region, a chief superintendent in charge of the Meath division and a local superintendent in the various districts in the Meath division, including in Trim. They are responsible for delivering local, responsive policing. When issues such as the one the Deputy identified arise, they are the people with responsibility and accountability for ensuring that the measures are in place. Our responsibility is to ensure that we equip them. On top of that-----
