In 2008 the Morris tribunal completed its work cataloguing corruption, systemic failures in senior Garda management and working practices and the failure of accountability systems. The Garda Síochána Act 2005 was presented as the answer to many of these problems but instead the force has been over-centralised and politicised since then. The Morris tribunal did not just identify malpractice and corruption on the part of individuals but also stressed that the problems were institutional. Will the Minister consider being proactive and order a Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission investigation under section 106?
