Catherine Murphy: ...reply goes into some detail. I was a member of the Committee of Public Accounts when it had a lot of debate about Templemore. The correspondence states that the matter was originally referred to GSOC by the then Garda Commissioner, Nóirín O'Sullivan, in June 2017. That is a six-year time lag. It is incredibly frustrating that it has taken so long for GSOC to conclude the...

Alan Kelly: It is very rare that I stand up on the Order of Business but I feel desperately that we need as a Legislature to have a debate about the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC.
