Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Inspectorate

9:00 am

Mr. Mark Toland:

We have met the Department a significant number of times to talk about the findings and the final report. We have met the Minister twice to talk about this. The Department's decision to establish an implementation group is a significant step for us. Under an independent chair, that will bring all of the relevant organisations and Departments, of which there are a significant number, together. For example, the online threat brings in the Departments of Education and Skills and Communications, Climate Action and Environment. A national approach is important. A national strategy is required to deal with the threats to child safety.
