I would be very anxious for us to have a debate on aspects of this important report in the House at the earliest opportunity, subject to the agreement of the Business Committee. I assure the House that the Government has noted the far-reaching recommendations in this report, which is a blueprint for policing for the coming decades. I am anxious to ensure an implementation body is put in place and that is my priority currently. I will engage intensively in the coming weeks with a view to putting together an implementation committee headed by an independent chair. We will proceed accordingly with the 50 recommendations, subject to the observations expressed by Deputies during a Dáil debate on this report, which is really important for the future of policing in this country.
