I recognise the importance of GSOC. We called for a Garda ombudsman long before the position was created. We have seen the value of such an office in the North. We hope the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland and additional resources will strengthen the work of GSOC. From what I can see, not every element is satisfactory at this point. The work involved here is very important. I hope that GSOC will continue to do better and that resources will assist it in that regard.
