Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Oversight: Discussion
2:10 pm
Mr. Robert K. Olson:
We currently have 13; that number has increased from six when Mr. Mark Toland and I came here. When the Department of Justice and Equality told us about the Haddington Road agreement and fixed-charge penalties, as Michael Flay has said, "We're going to need a bigger boat", so six additional personnel were supplied until this summer to help us get through the Haddington Road agreement.
