As the Deputy will be aware the development of National Operating Framework is one of the initiatives included in the Garda Commissioner's Modernisation and Renewal Programme 2016-2021.
The Policing Authority is performing the important task of overseeing the delivery of this ambitious reform programme and is reporting to me on a regular basis. The Authority has produced four valuable reports to date, the most recent completed in December 2017, providing a critical analysis of progress. I would refer the Deputy to those reports which are available on my Department's website www.justice.iefor an update on the progress of the reform programme generally and specific initiatives.
I have requested the Commissioner for an update on the current status of the National Operating Framework and I will write to the Deputy on receipt of same.
