Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Hume:

Absolutely. As was stated, in 2022 we opened 3,100-odd allegations against gardaí but we closed 2,400 of them because we decided the allegation was frivolous or vexatious or there was no case to answer. We did that as expeditiously as possible. Wherever possible, we are fair to members of An Garda Síochána.
