Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Hume:

Of the 2,189 complaints that we received last year, 858 or 39% were not admitted. A total of 1,332 were admitted and were subject to investigation. Some of those did not go far because complainants did not engage or we found early on that there was good reason, but approximately 60% of the complaints received last year were opened as investigations in GSOC.
