The Government is already committed to the establishment of a new body, which will have comprehensive powers of investigation, to deal with complaints against members of an Garda Síochána. The drafting of the Bill, which will also provide a statutory basis for management, performance and accountability in the Garda Síochána, is at an advanced stage, and I intend to publish it shortly.
