Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion

Mr. Drew Harris:

The new divisional structure will apply to all 19 divisions. In effect, all divisions will have a corporate structure, part of which will be administrative functions. All divisions will receive administrative support. All of them will have a superintendent for governance assurance in dealing with all issues surounding risk management, industrial relations and human resources processes, as well as disciplininary processes. In effect, we are taking administration tasks from other superintendents, namely, detective superintendents and communications superintendents in order that they can engage primarily in police work.
