The Garda Commissioner mentioned supervision issues that were identified across many of the appearances of members of An Garda Síochána before this committee.

I am aware it relates to recruitment and to positions in middle management not being filled over time. Mr. Harris said that the national bureau for child diversion is being established and that the chief superintendent is now in situ, which is positive. Can Mr. Harris outline to the committee what was the responsibility and leadership structure within the Garda when this was going wrong systemically, and which allowed the 7% rate to occur?
