Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Inspectorate

9:00 am

Mr. Mark Toland:

The discussion on potential locations focuses on having one centre in Galway, another somewhere in Cork and obviously a third one in Dublin. The indications are that there will be three or four centres. While people would still have to travel, the quality of service would compensate for the travel requirement. There are ten or 11 centres in Norway but many people still have to travel for two to three hours to access one. Parents and guardians accept that because they are coming to a centre of excellence.
