Mr. Drew Harris:

What I am following through on is the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland that envisages a new organisation after GSOC. What investigations it takes on have yet to be decided and will be a matter of Government policy and the legislation that will follow. I introduced it to the Policing Authority. It is less about TV drama and more about the everyday running of an organisation that has extraordinary powers and extraordinary reach into people's lives, making sure the high standards of behaviour are complied with, and being proactive in looking for wrongdoing. That is a management and leadership responsibility on my part. I do not think I can outsource it to an outside body. I am not sure an outside body would have access to all of the levers I can have as the Commissioner. My responsibility is to develop them if there is a new Garda Síochána Act.
