Minister for Justice

I can inform the Deputy that one of the companies she has referenced was contracted by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, following an open tender competition, to conduct an organisational review which was funded by my Department. I understand the cost of this work was €175,939 and a report was completed and published in 2023.
