Report on Crime Investigation 2014: Garda Inspectorate
2:30 pm
Mr. Robert K. Olson:
I want to be clear. We did not look at it nor is there is anything in this report that would have some impact on the location and the number of Garda stations. It was not the remit; it was not what we looked at. We looked at crime investigation and how it was being accomplished, and the report will speak for itself. I am listening to focus groups and whatnot. I do not even remember that particular issue being brought up. Mr. Toland might make some comments because he had a lot of community meetings as well to get citizens' input. He might have a point on that, but we did not even look at the issue of Garda stations.
