Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, in the context of a commitment in the Programme for Government I initiated a review of the operation of Joint Policing Committees and published a discussion document to support public consultation on the matter. My Department, together with the Garda authorities and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government has examined the feedback obtained during the review process, as well as related issues arising from the broader process of local government reform, and recommendations concerning revisions to the JPC guidelines are at an advanced stage of preparation.
