Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Garda Oversight: Discussion

11:40 am

Mr. Kieran Fitzgerald:

For the past five years, GSOC has been asking complainants on a confidential and voluntary basis for information about themselves, their lifestyles and how they establish and describe their ethnicity. Therefore, we have some of the work done already on trying to establish whether there are any trends we need to be aware of and concerned about.
