94. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality her plans for an external independent culture audit of An Garda Síochána, as requested by the Policing Authority, including the name of the auditor and when the audit will be completed. [14320/16]
View answerThe responsibility for undertaking the proposed external independent culture audit is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. I am advised by the Garda Commissioner that the proposal for this audit is currently being developed by An Garda Síochána, in consultation with the Policing Authority. When this process has been finalised, a procurement process will commence to obtain the services of an organisation to undertake the audit.
