Charles Flanagan: ...operate to best effect, which gives food for thought. Second, there are two elements to the commission’s proposals on external independent oversight. It proposes a reformed independent complaints body that would supersede the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, and a new independent oversight body to be named the policing and community safety oversight commission...

Mick Wallace: ...will not fix anything and that the culture was more of a problem than the structures. It is as if we are trying to reinvent the wheel. The Minister is right that we have highlighted issues with GSOC, the Policing Authority and the Garda Inspectorate. We do not think it is a good idea to get rid of any of them.

He thinks the report is fine but there is nothing new around the GSOC recommendations. There is nothing new in a lot of the report, which is not a criticism of it. It is a pulling together of ideas which have been out there for a very long time. It pulls...
