I am in discussion with the Garda Ombudsman Commission on possible amendments to the Garda Síochána Act 2005 aimed at further improving the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. I intend to bring proposals to Government in relation to the drafting of those amendments shortly.

An outline of amendments proposed by the Ombudsman Commission is set out in their two year progress report, a copy of which has been placed in the Oireachtas library or can be accessed on the Commission's website at www.gardaombudsman.ie.
