On Tuesday we had the launch of the report on the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland with the usual razzmatazz that this Government does for every launch. It is a very detailed report and I thank Kathleen O'Toole and her team for the work they have done. A specific recommendation of the report relates to the formation of a strategic threat analysis centre that would respond directly to the Taoiseach. Can the Tánaiste confirm that the Government is accepting that specific recommendation? Second, can he confirm that implementation of the report will begin in 2019? When does the Government intend to place an implementation plan and an aligned budget before the House?

I also take the opportunity to thank Kathleen O'Toole who has done an extraordinarily good job. What the Government has done to date is simply to note the report because there are many recommendations in it. The Minister, Deputy Flanagan, is consulting with other political parties and other stakeholders on an implementation plan which he has committed to bring to Government within three months. We will move on now from simply noting a report to putting an implementation plan in place to make sure the benefits of that report are factored into Government policy and action. We will have an implementation plan ready and brought before Government within three months.
