An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-24
============================================================

Martin Kenny (SF), Sligo-Leitrim

Will the report cover the oversight of investigations? In most other jurisdictions, there is some form of judicial oversight, particularly regarding serious crime, to ensure that everything is done correctly and properly. There is a barrister or other individual in charge of the investigation to ensure everything is done as it should be. The majority of Garda investigations, even the most serious kinds, are carried out properly, but sometimes we have difficulties. Additional oversight in respect of that needs to be considered. Is that part of this process?
