As the Deputy will be aware I published the report of the Garda Síochána Inspectorate "Changing Policing in Ireland - Delivering a Visible, Accessible and Responsive Service" on 9 December 2015. The report makes some 80 recommendations in relation to the structures of An Garda Síochána, its deployment practices, culture, human resources practices and financial management. Some of the recommendations are far-reaching and, if implemented, would involve a fundamental restructuring of An Garda Síochána across the country. In view of this I put a process in place to seek the views of the Garda Commissioner and other bodies to whom recommendations are directed. The responses received are currently under consideration in my Department.
