147. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will issue a clarification regarding the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission's non-compliance with its customer charter, specifically sections 1 to 4, inclusive, and 7 of that charter, which assures members of the public they will be provided with a prompt and comprehensive response to their communications (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Garda Síochána Act 2005 established the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission to receive complaints from members of the public concerning the conduct of members of the Garda Síochána. The Act stipulates that the Ombudsman Commission is independent in the exercise of its functions. I have no role in the processing of individual complaints which are referred to the Ombudsman Commission for investigation.
