Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

9:30 am

Ms Emily Logan:

I might add something because I think the Chair is perhaps getting a slightly distorted view. If we just look at the totality of the expenditure that is the responsibility of the commission, how much we are determining of our €19 million budget to the pathway of the complaint from when it comes in, which is what we were asked about earlier, local intervention, disciplinary procedures, and who is making those decisions – Mr. Whelan is absolutely right: there are dedicated people with the title of "investigators" but in terms of the overall resources given to complaints that come from the public right up to and including investigations, Ms McLoughlin or Ms Woods can give the committee the expenditure.
