The commitment in the programme for Government is to give the Garda inspectorate the powers of an ombudsman, and this will be reflected in the Minister's proposals. The Minister intends the inspectorate to have comprehensive powers of investigation equal to those that might be given to an ombudsman. At this stage, the Minister sees advantage in the inspectorate comprising perhaps three persons, supported by appropriate staff, rather than by one person, as would be the case with an ombudsman. This should not pose a difficulty of principle for those who support the idea of an ombudsman. That legislation is on the way, and we do not see any reason why this Bill should be postponed in the meantime.
