Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

I might come back to the Chairman with the precise detail on that. A lot of the work is already ongoing in terms of our review of other level one incidents, which was one of the recommendations, and we are to revert to the authority with a plan in that respect. We have accepted all of those recommendations. Some of the recommendations related to supervision, training and spot checks, and all of those have been put in place. There are other things that we are taking a longer look at, for example, the recruitment of personnel for this sort of work and the aptitudes that are required of them.
