Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Declan Daly:
What we in An Garda Síochána are looking for is a consistent and high-level approach to the investigation of sexual crime, including online abuse. We sit at the national level in the Garda national protective services bureau and we have rolled out divisional protective services units which mirror what we do and would bring that specialisation and that level of consistency throughout the nation for the investigation of sexual crime. We want all the crimes investigated to a high standard and we believe the specialisation will achieve that.
