Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

9:30 am

Ms Emily Logan:

Something came to mind there. The most solid piece of information that came out, in terms of public reporting on that, was from Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary for the eastern region who is doing an operational review. The members probably know this but he sent questionnaires out to all of the guards who were involved that night. Of all of those questionnaires that came back, and people were asked about the use of force specifically, less than 5% of all of those people reported that they had a lack of confidence in use of force. It was not any reference to GSOC. It was a confidence issue but it was less than 5%. That is the report from Paul Cleary, the assistant commissioner.
