‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Garda Commissioner replacement
Summary
Deputy Ó Laoghaire seeks cross-party consultation on appointing a new Garda Commissioner in the interests of political buy-in. The Tánaiste says the process is the responsibility of the Policing Authority and the Public Appointments Service.
In the programme for Government, there is a commitment to improving oversight and accountability in policing. In the context of that and the resignation of the Garda Commissioner, will the Government, including the Minister for Justice and Equality, consider meeting all Opposition parties regarding the process for the replacement of the Garda Commissioner to ensure full political buy-in concerning that appointment?
