- Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)
Matt Carthy: I thank the Commissioner and Deputy Brabazon. Before I move on, on a related matter, there were a number of reports that some regions do not have a sufficient number of trained or adequately trained gardaí who could engage in the high-speed pursuit of a vehicle. Is the Commissioner satisfied this issue has been resolved?

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: How many cases were reviewed? Do the witnesses have that number?
- Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)
