Mr. Kieran FitzGerald:

In an earlier question, the Deputy asked about the remit of the new body. It will not have a substantially different remit but one important line in the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland recommends that the new body focus on investigating incidents and not individuals. That will be a significant change and will allow us to look at an event and what it is about, rather than focus in a narrow and restricted way on whether a particular garda has erred in his or her conduct.
