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

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

Yes, and I will call on my colleagues to focus on specific points the Chairman made. As I have stated a few times during the morning, public confidence is critical to what we do. It is a focus that we have to have. The work that has been carried out is ongoing. If the Chairman is asking about the additional work that is happening, Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan looked for an additional piece of work to happen, that is, going out to the regions. That is what happening at the moment in continuation of Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan's report.

In an external context, we have the Policing Authority and the Crowe Horwath report. That is what is happening in that space.

I will ask Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan to clarify the matter regarding the estimation. It is not all in that barrow. There is also an inflation piece, which is referenced in his report. He might clarify that.
