The responsibility for undertaking the proposed external independent culture audit is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. I am advised by the Garda Commissioner that the proposal for this audit is currently being developed by An Garda Síochána, in consultation with the Policing Authority. When this process has been finalised, a procurement process will commence to obtain the services of an organisation to undertake the audit.
