Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

We received an initial draft but I am not content with it. It contains information which would interfere with disciplinary considerations. The information could upset or corrupt a consideration of discipline. It goes into great detail such that cases are looked at almost on an individual level. That is true in respect of the gardaí involved, but in some cases the victims may be able to identify themselves from the information contained in the report. It needs to be lifted up a level. It contains detail which it would be incorrect to put into the public domain.
