70. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if the two investigators seconded to the Charleton tribunal from GSOC have been covered by alternative recruitment; if not, the way in which she envisages the shortage of GSOC resources would be covered; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25226/17]
View answerIn response to a request from the sole member of the Disclosures Tribunal and with the agreement of the Chairperson of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission two investigators were seconded by GSOC to the Disclosures Tribunal in March. I am grateful to the Chairperson of GSOC for her assistance in this matter. In consequence of this secondment I obtained the sanction of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for GSOC to recruit two investigators to fill the two seconded posts. GSOC were informed of this sanction in early March.
