Recent Issues Relating to An Garda Síochána: Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

No, I do not think so. We have been working on the whole process of policing plans for some time and are trying to embed it. It is another aspect of our culture and management to ensure that in everything we do, and we do an awful lot in different ways daily, we can capture what is happening. A very good aid in that context was having a prepared policing plan ahead of time in order that one can see what the organisation needs to achieve and one knows, say, at superintendent level, no matter where they are in the country, that they can see at the end of the year how they contributed to the delivery of An Garda Síochána's policing plan as an organisation in order that it is all aligned. All relevant work that is happening must in some way be recorded in order that we can feed it all back into the centre and measure what has happened in the context of any given outcome we are hoping to achieve.
