This morning, representatives of the Garda Inspectorate appeared before the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality. One of the key points raised in the discussion was a review of recommendations made in a 2012 report dealing with the approach of An Garda Síochána to child sexual abuse cases. The review found that only half the actions the Garda Inspectorate required the Garda to implement to properly protect children had been taken. Given the seriousness and nature of this type of crime, this is a matter of serious concern given the time that has elapsed since the report was produced.
