Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion

Mr. John Twomey:

Regarding the implementation of the recommendations, we are working with the Policing Authority and we will provide an implementation plan with detailed timelines before the end of this quarter. Some of the short-term recommendations have been implemented. The comprehensive plan is monitored on a quarterly basis with the Policing Authority. Some of the recommendations are long-term structural or legislative changes that require agencies other than An Garda Síochána or are being led by external agencies, so it is probably not possible to say when they will be concluded. Some of them will require legislative changes in the Dáil. Several of the short-term recommendations have been implemented. A final document with more specific timelines will be agreed with the Policing Authority before the end of this month.
