Matt Carthy: That is a point well made. Am I correct that the PSNI has one such dog for recovery of remains?
- Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)
Matt Carthy: I do not think that anyone would suggest that. As a dog owner and dog lover, anybody will attest that they can pass suddenly. It seems to be a risky strategy to rely not only a dog of another police service, but only one between both services. It would seem to be prudent at the very minimum that An Garda Síochána would have its own dog that if the circumstances require that it...

Matt Carthy: I have a couple of non-committee members, whom I will allow in briefly, but I have a couple of questions. An Garda Síochána announced a review of several missing persons cases and, in essence, the organisation upgraded those cases to murder. How many cases were affected and when and how were those decisions made?

Matt Carthy: If there are several cases, as the witness as indicated, is it fair to say that it points to failings in the original or ongoing investigations?

Matt Carthy: I thank Dr. Coxon. The Commissioner will be aware that, the week before last, the Minister for justice issued an apology to the family of Shane O'Farrell. Shane was from my hometown. The apology related to the fact the person who killed Shane was at liberty. Does the Commissioner accept that there were Garda failings in that instance that would have warranted the apology from the Minister?
- Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)
Matt Carthy: It has been well documented the man who killed Shane was in breach of multiple bail conditions across multiple sources.

Are there any circumstances in which the Garda would be willing to publish such a file on an individual, considering...

Matt Carthy: Could members try to keep to the three-minute mark? I call Deputy Gannon.

Matt Carthy: Am I to take it from the Commissioner's remarks that he is not involved in the selection process and will not be on the panel to select his replacement?
- Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)
