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

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

There are no disciplinary cases initiated at this point arising from Mr. O'Sullivan's reports. The process continues with the data sets put together by Mr. O'Sullivan during his research which has been given to regional commissioners under the stewardship of the national roads policing bureau to ensure consistency across the board. It is to establish in more detail what the issues look like. When we get it back, we can move the process further. We need to get the feedback first to establish exactly what the matters might look like and how we might proceed. There are large numbers involved and all ranks may be affected, as the Deputy notes. I agree with the statement of the former Garda Commissioner that where people are found to have done something wrong, they will be held to account, regardless of rank.
