Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 November 2013
133. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 540 to 545, inclusive, of 21 May 2013, if he will be recommending that the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission retains more detailed statistics of the kind of request in those questions when compiling data on complaints received by that office. [48535/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission informs me that GSOC's Case Management System, which is under constant internal review, provides GSOC with comprehensive data and statistics (as can be seen in its various statutory reports that can be found on its website www.gardaombudsman.ie). However, responses to very specific queries can involve compilation of data over many years that can be very resource intensive.
The Ombudsman Commission is however always happy to engage directly with any interested party in order to manage and progress any queries.
