Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-12
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

Again, I am happy to engage further with the Deputy but, in this regard, the timeframe has already been extended from 12 to 18 months. That happened only seven years ago. Prior to setting out the timelines here, we engaged with An Garda Síochána, with GSOC and with the Director of Public Prosecutions, all of which have said they do not have any issue with the 18 months and none of which requested that it be extended any further.
