The Report of Ms Emily Logan identified a range of steps that need to be taken, including detailed issues that need to be addressed within An Garda Síochána and other bodies, as well as wider issues that relate to how public services generally engage with members of the Roma community.

I have established an Implementation Group, chaired by my Department, (comprising members from relevant agencies, including An Garda Síochána) tasked with ensuring that the recommendations are progressed as expeditiously as possible, including the recommendations which are the subject of the Deputy's Question. The Group is due to report back to me by the end of the year.
