Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

It commenced in 2020 in terms of its investigative effort. I can return to the committee in writing on the specifics of investigations. The good position is that complaints against members of An Garda Síochána are reducing. Our own internal investigations are also reducing. We are on a very positive glide-path downwards in terms of allegations made and investigations being mounted. Indeed, even suspensions are also reducing. What drove up suspensions for a period was that courts were not sitting. Therefore that created delay and that is still working through.
