Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Ms Yvonne Cooke:

Understood. In addition to the focus on resourcing, there has been quite a bit of modernisation of ICT to support colleagues so that they are doing less administrative work. We are now looking at a new ratio and quota for what we intend on delivering within this year of further reassignments, and while we do not have that figure yet because we are waiting for the confidence of the pipeline, we are nearly there. The intention is that we will assess all posts across the organisation against whether it requires a sworn power or specific policing experience, and if it does not, we will be looking to have those roles reassigned to Garda staff. That should assist with greater visibility.
