- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: To return to the question that prompted Ms Logan's contribution, how many of the 7% remaining that are over three years involve those under the age of 18?

Paul McAuliffe: Ms Logan might come back to us.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: It is a very specific question, to be fair, so Ms Logan might come back to me on that.

Paul McAuliffe: I really think those cases need to be prioritised. The length of time for anybody in this situation is very difficult, but in a child's lifetime, there is almost an obligation on the State to demonstrate fairness in life and ensure that a process is available with a speedy response. Within the development of child's own lifetime, it is so important that we try to deliver justice where there...

Paul McAuliffe: Okay.

Paul McAuliffe: Going forward into the new organisation, are there any child-specific measures that Ms Logan believes might assist her in carrying out her work?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: When Ms Logan says "treated as an adult", she means that they can make a complaint, not that they will be treated as an adult.

Paul McAuliffe: Many of them would have had unsatisfactory interactions with gardaí and would not have previously been able to make a complaint.

Paul McAuliffe: I ask Ms Logan to continue to prioritise those cases involving those aged under 18. It is not that the others are not important, but I have a particular feeling towards those. I will come back to the incidents, and Deputy Murphy kind of touched on the issue, of the Dublin riots. What it brought to the fore was a feeling within An Garda Síochána that gardaí very much were...

Paul McAuliffe: Okay. I am very conscious of not interfering in the case or the details of it. Did the five received related to the date on which the Dublin riots took place also relate to the incidents that took place in Dublin city that day?

Paul McAuliffe: Mr. Whelan said a number had been withdrawn. Does he know how many?

Paul McAuliffe: Let me change direction. There are still a number of investigations taking place that relate to the Dublin riots. A concern among both the public and the gardaí was that guards did not have the freedom to respond. I would like to give our guests the opportunity to respond to that here because I believe that the Garda Commissioner did. Is there anything that our guests would like to...

Paul McAuliffe: Obviously it is not within Mr. Justice MacCabe's remit to recommend the parameters of the use of force. To clarify, does he believe that any questions about the use of force is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and the Garda Commissioner exclusively?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Yes.

Paul McAuliffe: To clarify, it is the assistant commissioner's findings. Is Ms Logan suggesting that it was a smaller factor in the overall operation on that evening?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: In regard to our approach, we like to think of our outcome reports. There is a theme that could be built upon from a number of meetings we had with the Department of Justice, GSOC and An Garda Síochána that we could pull together in one report. We have not done a report for some time. In regard to turning our meetings into outcomes, for the secretariat, there is probably a...

Paul McAuliffe: If it was possible to bring An Garda Síochána in sooner that would be best, but that is set now so we will leave matters stand.

Paul McAuliffe: One other piece of work we did that might be worth revisiting relates to the Central Bank. Members might remember we had two meetings that should have been one meeting. I believe there is work there for us to come back to in the whole area of competition within the sector. The part for which the Central Bank is accountable is the particular fund, but I wonder whether-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Yes. I wonder whether it is worth revisiting that piece of work to have a discussion at a future date. I am not proposing we add it at this point. When would that be due before us again, comptroller?
