Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 May 2004
54 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has received the report from the steering group working under the SMI on Garda organisational structures; the main findings of the report; if it is intended to publish the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12679/04]
View answerThe Garda SMI implementation steering group has finalised its report following a major review of the Garda organisation structures under the strategic management initiative programme of modernisation. The review looked in detail at a range of areas within the organisation and the steering group report makes recommendations with a view to ensuring the Garda organisation has appropriate and effective structures and management processes to best meet the needs of the public and the Garda Síochána. I have received the report which I am having examined in my Department and I will give careful consideration to all of the steering group's recommendations, and the question of publication.
