Garda Reform
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-01
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

-----in terms of whether it was about governance or accountability and who was ultimately responsible for the governance of An Garda Síochána. We need to reflect on that continually.
I take the Deputy's point that one does not want an in-house culture that promotes certain people in certain areas. One wants an arm's-length, independent, objective approach to recruitment-----
