Committee on Public Petitions

Engagement with the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

Mr. Hugh Hume:

Cases vary so much and digital information can be very challenging to access. Even at the end of a criminal investigation and it goes to the Director of Public Prosecutions, it may decide not to prosecute and we might start the process again as a discipline investigation under different regulations. It can vary.
