Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Road Safety: Discussion
2:00 am
Dr. Shawna Coxon:
There are ten recommendations in total. We have accepted all of them. Without going through all of it detail - I am happy to speak to the Deputy outside of the committee but it would take up the next hour - there are a couple of key pieces, one of which is with respect to performance regulations. We did not have performance regulations in An Garda Síochána. In terms of being able to manage performance, we were limited in what we could do. Now, legally, with the new Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024 we have performance regulations which we welcome. Our human resource people are actively working on what that will look like and how we operationalise it. We are looking at road policing as a way of beginning this process of programme management in terms of performance. We are also looking at personnel and equipment. We are doing a full review across the organisation. That has been important. It has been noted today.
