Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Oversight and Accountability: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Orla McPartlin:
On the full review, it encompasses a number of issues, as the Deputy knows. The first tranche of work is the peer review of the original 41 cases. That is ongoing at present. That is just one part of the issues with which we are dealing. As we are going along, we are giving interim reports, in that we are updating on issues that are arising that we believe can be addressed or need to be highlighted. It was envisaged that the review of the original 41 cases might be finished by the end of this month. That is not going to happen. I am loath to give another end date because we want to do a thorough examination of all the files and to have it correct and agreed by all the members of the review team. If that takes a little bit longer, that it is a better result to have in the end.
