The Deputy will be aware the Government has indicated that an Independent Garda Authority will be established by the end of the year.

The measures to be put in place in respect of the new Authority are complex and it is not possible at this stage to indicate the specific staffing arrangements that will be made. However, I can assure the Deputy that the overall project is a major priority for my Department.
