The Garda Síochána Inspectorate has carried out a review of the Garda arrangements for dealing with allegations of sexual abuse of children and has submitted a report with recommendations. Subsequent to the publication of the report into the Diocese of Cloyne, the Inspectorate was requested to review its report in the light of the findings of the Cloyne report. It has completed that review and submitted an addendum to the report.

My Department has sought the views of An Garda Síochána and others on the report and addendum. I intend to bring the report and addendum and a comprehensive response to the report's recommendations to the attention of the Government in January and to lay the report and addendum before the Houses of the Oireachtas, together with a response to the recommendations contained in the report, at as early a date as possible thereafter.
