In relation to its most recent report, I find it remarkable that the Policing Authority is only satisfied with nine of the 50 recommendations An Garda Síochána claims to have been completed. The recommendations cross a wide range of areas and competencies and several relate to civilianisation. How does the acting Garda Commissioner account for such a significant discrepancy between the Garda level of satisfaction with the implementation of the recommendations made and that of the Policing Authority because clearly where the Garda sets the bar for implementation and where the Policing Authority does are two different places.
