Paragraphs (a) to (f) very specific, and (g) are simply to make provision to allow for "any other matters that the Board thinks fit" in producing the annual report. I cannot imagine that the report would have a reference to hospitals, shops, retail or any other matter that does not involve the role of An Garda Síochána. It is intentionally open in that regard, and it has to be.

Again, where it states "not later than 4 months", one would have to assume compliance with this by An Garda Síochána and by the Garda Commissioner. If there is some reason that this is not done, I am sure there would be engagement between the Minister and the Commissioner.
