Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána

10:30 am

Mr. John Twomey:

The report makes many different findings. To take one finding and attribute it as accounting for the majority or minority of them is the key issue we are trying to address. There are many findings and we are bringing a process to address all of them. I believe this is the issue Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan is referring to. The difficulty lies in applying a weighting to one factor over another when there are 502,000 individual records. One cannot say one issue is more responsible than another. What we are trying to do is to get in behind and under that. We have brought about a combination of recommendations which we believe will address all the issues in a holistic fashion.
