Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Yvonne Cooke:
I can answer that. Issues like that have been raised with me by the staff associations at the monthly meetings I have with them. What they have specifically been requesting is dedicated time for training and development. That is something we committed to looking at. In the meantime, we have communicated through our leadership team and supervisors to attempt to make provision for that training. However, as the Deputy can imagine, things like that will happen in an operational environment. We have committed to looking at dedicated training time within the live environment inasmuch as it can be achieved. It is something we are aware of.
