Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner

2:00 pm

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

We have looked at it. We have an initiative, Theft Stop, under way with the IFA, which looks at forensic marking. One of the issues with our successes is the amount of property we have recovered which, unfortunately, we cannot reunite with its owners. It is a very useful mechanism and we would welcome opportunities to explore with other bodies.
