Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister for Justice and Equality will speak after the publication of the report. It is only right and proper that everybody should read it. We can make arrangements to have it debated here and the Minister will respond again and take questions on it. The Oireachtas committee will also debate it, if it feels that is appropriate.

We are not waiting for the GSOC report. That will come in its own time. Elements of the O'Mahony report are being implemented. It is intended that the Minister will recommend to the Cabinet that the recommendations in the Garda inspectorate report be accepted. As I have said, the Cabinet will make a decision on that this afternoon. A debate can be arranged and questions can be asked arising from this. The GSOC report, which will come in due course, might recommend in its overall analysis of the situation that changes be made or something different be done. It will take account of the Garda and other elements of this matter, such as issues relating to the Road Safety Authority and the courts. All of that is part of the mandate given to it. I hope clarity and accountability will come out of all of this.
