Committee of Public Accounts to meet with Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission and Policing Authority

The meeting in Committee Room 3 of Leinster House will be joined by the C&AG, Seamus McCarthy and will be split into two sessions:

PAC Cathaoirleach Deputy Brian Stanley said: “GSOC and the Policing Authority have separate and distinct oversight roles regarding An Garda Síochána.
