Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The DPP is independent of my office and has the power to issue directions in all cases to An Garda, and An Garda must comply. Where the Garda does not comply and where concerns are raised, the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, has a role. Individuals with specific concerns can go to it and gardaí can raise concerns themselves. The review covers several areas, and I do not want to pre-empt what will come of it. Obviously, we will share it with the Deputy and others when completed.
