Committee on Public Petitions

Engagement with the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

Ms Emily Logan:

I can assure the Deputy our investigations staff are very proactive in trying to support anyone who might have additional needs. Specifically in regard to mental health or people in detention, our teams will go out. Our teams have been out to Oberstown Children Detention Campus to hear from young people under the age of 18, and into prisons to take statements from individuals who may be detained there as well.
