Would Mr. Toland agree with me that some of the specific findings in the O'Higgins report replicate the general findings in his Crime Investigation report of 2014? In particular, he found that inexperienced gardaí were investigating serious crimes and on a micro level, Judge O'Higgins found that also. What are the witnesses recommending should be done to ensure we do not have a situation where inexperienced gardaí are investigating crimes that are too serious for them?
