John McGuinness: Deputy Deasy raised an issue about Garda inquiries and the need to apply some urgency in that regard. In recent times, when an issue has arisen, for example, in respect of the Health Service Executive, there has been a tendency to refer it to the Garda for inquiry. This happened in respect of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report into matters relating to the HSE and the management of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jun 2015)

John McGuinness: It was referred to the Garda authorities for investigation. While that investigation was ongoing it was better that we would not continue in our investigation. The committee requested the clerk to contact An Garda Síochána to find out the state of play in relation to that investigation. We will ask the Garda for an update so we can determine whether we can continue our work or not.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Other Questions: Garda Station Closures (22 Jun 2016)

John McGuinness: On the investment front, I encourage the Minister to consider providing a new Garda station in Kilkenny, and to examine the network in the county. The population of Kilkenny city, like that of many urban centres, has increased and only recently a temporary extension was added to the station. There is a need to accommodate the modern technology and all that is necessary for the gardaí...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

John McGuinness: If those files, or any files, have been passed to the Garda and there is a special liaison officer there, is it not strange that there has not been more contact or a more definite position from NAMA on it? People would expect that with so much being talked about, true or false we do not know, the liaison garda would be in regular contact with NAMA by now, that Mr. McDonagh would know what he...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014)

John McGuinness: The number of members of the force is now down to less than 13,000 and the acting Commissioner has said the Garda can fulfil its full obligations with that number. This might come as a surprise to some people around the country, because they constantly hear of the non-availability of gardaí for some reason or another in regard to reporting incidents and getting a response. For example,...

Fatal Road Traffic Collision in County Monaghan in 2011: Statements (31 May 2018)

John McGuinness: ...the report are quite insulting and I am sure it causes the O'Farrell family further stress, anger and frustration. For example, in speaking about the individual who murdered Shane appearing at the Garda station, the report states he admitted it to gardaí. What it does not state is that he was in custody in the Garda station for 11 hours before he admitted what he had done. It was...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 May 2015)

John McGuinness: ...has to deal with but this correspondence answers some of the questions raised.

We are told the Garda is investigating. It is extremely lax on the part of the HSE...

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

John McGuinness: This legislation is a nod in the right direction in the context of reforming the administration of the Garda Síochána. If we want to learn something about the reform that is required, though, one need look no further than the case of the death of Shane O'Farrell. The courts, the Garda and the Director of Public Prosecution's office were at fault. There is nothing in this Bill...
