Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 May 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I want to refer to protected disclosures. There are protected disclosures from gardaí. A recent report outlined that, apart from 13 cases that were discontinued, 36 were still on the books and that there has not been any case from last year that led to a prosecution or recommendation of disciplinary action. This is the third report of that kind. The first, covering 2014 to 2016,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 May 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: GSOC is responsible for holding the Garda to account and investigating complaints made against gardaí. One of the concerns the family had about the report was that the assertions of gardaí had been accepted rather than tested or probed. One example is that the Garda asserted to GSOC that it was unaware of events related to the case that had occurred outside the jurisdiction. The...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...years and did not find out about this information. The family, without any training, legal background or anything like that, were able to find this out. The document was obviously relevant. The Garda made an assertion that was accepted by GSOC, whereas the family were able to demonstrate that was not the case. That is disappointing. There was a disturbing report in TheIrish Timeslast...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 May 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: A strategic information decision is sought from An Garda Síochána. My language may not be quite right but GSOC may ask the gardaí for information, whatever it is called, and then GSOC decides whether it will take a public interest investigation. I raised a particular incident and was concerned that it was not related to a public interest investigation. This related to a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Oversight and Accountability: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 May 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I recognise the importance of GSOC. We called for a Garda ombudsman long before the position was created. We have seen the value of such an office in the North. We hope the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland and additional resources will strengthen the work of GSOC. From what I can see, not every element is satisfactory at this point. The work involved...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: If I recall correctly, there is a reduction of €3.5 million in Garda overtime. There were overtime bans last year and the year before. In 2017 it was in December only but it was for much longer last year. While I understand that a huge amount is being spent on Garda overtime, it is usually a decision taken by chief superintendents and superintendents based on the resources available...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Is there any plan to expand the Garda youth diversion project this year or is there a new project? A response to a parliamentary question last year - I presume the figures are broadly the same - showed that 111 out of 563 operational Garda stations do not have broadband.
