Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The report is published, as the Deputy knows. I do not where the up-to-date publication of what is actually under way to be implemented is, but we will have that very shortly for everybody.

As I said before in respect of confidence in the Commissioner, I retain confidence in her to see that the changes recommended independently are being rolled out and timelined, as happens in the case of plans in other areas, including education, jobs and so on.

I also take the Deputy's point in regard to the independent Policing Authority. A number of vacancies have been advertised by the Policing Authority. Following the Government's decision, the nature of appointments at senior level in An Garda Síochána into the future will be independent of the Garda Commissioner and Government of the day. I believe this was the right thing to do. That process is under way and being followed. When the Tánaiste meets with the Opposition spokespersons she will give them a full briefing on all of these matters.
