Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

There are also a number of upgrade programmes under way to meet demands as the organisation grows and new members are recruited. For example, there have been a number of initiatives implemented under the modernisation renewal programme, such as victims' service offices. We are encouraging people to engage with the Garda and we want to give them dignity and privacy in their dealings with individual gardaí. People who come to us traumatised may be vulnerable victims who we wish to interview and we need to ensure we have in place the proper accommodation and facilities where they can be treated with dignity and respect.
