-----and to inquire into all matters of relevance. It is more than two weeks since this controversy developed. The Minister announced that he would be bringing to Cabinet a number of amendments to the Garda Síochána Act 2005 relating to GSOC and it was agreed at today's Cabinet meeting that the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality will be asked to hold hearings for members of the public, agencies and organisations. I have heard a number of comments from noted members of the public about the inefficiency of the law in this regard. The joint committee will hear views on how the law should be changed or amended, and will furnish its findings to the Minister. The Minister will appear before the Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions to address any questions, anxieties, concerns or issues that members may have fully, openly and comprehensively in the interest of truth and the facts.
