Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

Mr. Drew Harris:

Everything I have seen here points to an organisation that wants and is seeking to move on. The big difference is that the investment in IT happened in the PSNI perhaps 15 years ago. Other things which are being lifted such as, for instance, risk management were in place perhaps ten years ago. I recognise entirely the journey the organisation is on and the place it is at. However, I also recognise the investment being made and the desire of people to move forward.
