Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

Mr. Justice Rory MacCabe:

What I can say is that in our submission to the justice committee on the general scheme of the policing Bill, we indicated we believe that if constraints are going to be imposed in the Bill on the timeliness of the investigations carried out by GSOC, a similar requirement should be imposed on the people we deal with and State agents should also have timeliness as part of their obligation to co-operate with GSOC.
