Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Priorities for Garda Inspectorate: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Mark Toland:

Yes, and it has been implemented. One of the deputies has taken on that role. We found that there were a number of policy oversight units within the Garda Síochána that sat in different parts of the organisation. We felt the significant around governance needed a deputy commissioner to drive through some of that change. That is why we recommended it, and it has been accepted and implemented already.
