Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Hume:

It is fairly standard across the spectrum of complaints. In 2021, there were 2,189 complaints, of which 858 were deemed inadmissible, with 1,332 admitted into the organisation.

I think the committee previously had some correspondence from Ms Justice Ring that referred to a figure of around 40% for unsupervised complaints in previous years. That figure would be roughly similar for this year. In the year 2021, 523 complaints were dealt with as unsupervised investigations. Those represented about 40% of the total number of complaints.
