Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight and Accountability: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Orla McPartlin:

I suppose there are different strands to it. The current strand that is being followed concerns the original 41 cases in respect of which we were requested to do a peer review. That is the body of work that is being carried out at the moment. It is being led by Chief Superintendent Sutton. As was said in the opening statement, 12 of those cases have been reviewed, two are before the courts and the rest are being reviewed by the members of the review team. It is taking somewhat longer than expected, as is often the case in these matters, but it is the review team's view that it is better that we carry out a thorough and careful examination and make sure everything is concluded to finality to the satisfaction of every member of the review team.
