Written answers

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission informs me that GSOC's Case Management System, which is under constant internal review, provides GSOC with comprehensive data and statistics (as can be seen in its various statutory reports that can be found on its website www.gardaombudsman.ie). However, responses to very specific queries can involve compilation of data over many years that can be very resource intensive.

The Ombudsman Commission is however always happy to engage directly with any interested party in order to manage and progress any queries.
