Public Accounts Committee

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

Ms Emily Logan:

The Deputy is right. The general scheme as currently drafted has a new head where we are obliged to collect data that would allow us to identify patterns and themes. In the long term, we would not look to depend on an individual complainant. We ourselves should be picking up those patterns and themes so that, if there is a problem in a particular Garda station, we ourselves would find that.
