The Deputy will appreciate that it is important that the annual Policing Plan takes into account all relevant factors impacting on the delivery of policing services.
Exceptionally, for 2019, in light of the fact that the Commissioner was appointed in September 2018 and taking into account the approval of the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland by the Government in December, I acceded to a request from the Policing Authority, with the agreement of the Commissioner, that the deadline for the submission to me of the 2019 Policing Plan be deferred to 31 March 2019.
I expect that the new deadline will be met.
