Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will have to come back to the Deputy on the second question. On the Garda authority and the process for the appointment of a Garda Commissioner, the advertisement for the post of Garda Commissioner will be placed in July and the legislation regarding the establishment of a committee to deal with the provision of an independent statutory Garda authority will be introduced in the autumn. It is intended that both processes will overlap. In other words, the process of the appointment will overlap with the development of the independent statutory authority.

On the expert planning group, it is due to report shortly.
