In respect of amendment No. 20, we understand that Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, pointed out it is under an obligation under section 169 to work in a timely manner. However, the Garda is under no obligation to co-operate with GSOC to achieve this. Therefore, this amendment to delete lines 4 and 5 and substitute “to ensure that An Garda Síochána co-operates with the Office of the Police Ombudsman with regard to his or her obligations” should address that concern.
