I turn to HIQA's interactions with the Garda in the production of various reports and recommendations that it is statutory obligated to produce. I was reminded that I had been a member of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality for six years as I came in when I saw the white shirts of members of An Garda Síochána on the screen in one of the other committee rooms. Interactions between State agencies and the Garda are difficult at the best of times. They are fraught because of communications problems in the use of technology but also because of formality. What is HIQA's experience of its interactions with An Garda Síochána?
