Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Oversight: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Robert K. Olson:
Advice at this stage would be premature but I will explain what I mean by that. As the Deputy knows, the Minister has announced that we will take a hard look at serious crime and we have been doing that since we got started. However, we have also been given a remit in regard to the Haddington Road agreement. The Haddington Road agreement has to do with the entire structure of An Garda Síochána. In that report, which I am supposed to get to this summer, would be recommendations on that structure which would certainly include what the Deputy is talking about, so I probably should not say anything about it as it would a little premature. However, it is part of our remit.
