Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: The issue of judicial review is used and people have that right, which I accept.

I will move to a letter we got in December 2021, which related to difficulties because of industrial relations disputes among senior gardaí. What investigations were impacted as a result of those...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: After an investigation has started are there delays in getting information from the Garda Síochána? Could a better system be in place to ensure GSOC gets information in a timely manner? For argument's sake, simple issues can arise such as someone being out on sick leave or someone being seconded to a different location or role. Does this affect GSOC getting information when it...

Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: My apologies for not being able to join earlier. Forgive me if I go over areas that have already been covered.

Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: I will go back to the multi-agency approach. I was involved in a project in Blackpool, Cork, with the local gardaí. This is going back 15 or 18 years, when local gardaí worked very closely with the community, such as, for example, in respect of instances where young people dropped out of school. When we did a survey of the people who had come through the training schemes there, we...

Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022) Colm Burke: The other issue that needs to be taken into account is the cost issue.

It was costing us approximately £600,000 at the time to provide services for about 50 young people. If four of them were in custody, that £600,000 would...
