Enda Kenny The Taoiseach Fine Gael

I cannot give the Deputy a date but I will come back to him on it. The implementation of the Garda Inspectorate's recommendation will improve the experience of people reporting offences to An Garda Síochána. Issues being addressed include the establishment of the new national child protection, domestic violence and human exploitation unit, led by a chief superintendent, and the establishment of a victim services office in every Garda district.
