Garda Oversight: Discussion
10:40 am
Mr. Simon O'Brien:
We now have re-signed and renegotiated protocols that do not look too much different from the previous protocols. The indications this year are that we are getting a better level of service from the Garda Síochána in terms of the timeliness of the provision of information. We will look at that hawkishly through this year to ensure it continues. In regard to the timeliness of investigations undertaken by the Garda Síochána, there has been less success in those times coming down.
