Ms Eimear Fisher:

Of the 700 recommendations made across various reports, only five have been rejected. The rest, therefore, have been accepted but not fully implemented. I acknowledge that does not answer the question directly, but from the point of view of whether they cannot be implemented, they have been accepted. They have to go through a process of being implemented. It is indicative that only five have been rejected for various reasons. There is a strategic transformation office within the Garda which has brought together all the recommendations made by previous inspectorates and other inquiries. They are thematically gathering the recommendations together in an effort to implement them. There is some traction in respect of implementation but, obviously, the inspectorate would like more.
