Inevitably, the information the Deputy is putting on the floor of the House is partial in nature. Neither the Deputy nor I have the full facts in respect of the situation she is describing. The body we have established to examine the full facts is GSOC. Meanwhile, we have stronger legislation.

The Policing Authority has examined the policy. Transparency International is working with the Garda Síochána to ensure the policies are working.
