Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The situation regarding the appointment of commissioners has changed. It is an independent process. In this case, applications were sought nationally and internationally. The establishment of the policing authority is being followed through by the Minister for Justice and Equality. I expect that to be legislated for and enacted by the middle of May. Also, with regard to the continuation of GSOC and what it will be entitled to do, the appointment of a chairperson of GSOC is under consideration by the Government. That appointment should be made very quickly.

I do not accept what the Deputy says regarding bullying, harassment and the other issues he mentioned. I asked the Deputy for a note in respect of what he raised, but he chose not to respond. I would appreciate it if he would do so later.
