Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
2:00 am
Dr. Shawna Coxon:
We very much welcomed the Garda Inspectorate report. It is extremely comprehensive. Thirty-seven recommendations pertain to us, ten of which have been addressed already. This is an area we take very seriously. We are seeing the same trends that Women's Aid is seeing. In the last week of 2024, we had the highest number of disclosures that we have ever had in any given week. That trend is always rising. It is steadily increasing. Reporting is something we are seeing as well. We are concerned about some of the findings of Women's Aid with respect to some of the responses from us. Those are matters we are looking into.
