Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Last month this House debated the report of the O'Higgins commission. During the course of that debate, I referred to the fact that the central and most important message from the report was the consistent reference to management and supervision failures within An Garda Síochána. It is instructive to note that since then, the Policing Authority has expressed its views on the O'Higgins report. Does the Minister share the views expressed by myself and by the Policing Authority on the systemic performance and management failures within An Garda Síochána and does she share the dismay expressed by the authority at the familiarity and repetition of these performance failures?
