The internal examination being undertaken by Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan, which commenced on 24 March 2017, remains ongoing, and I am informed by An Garda Síochána that the final report of the examination will be finalised shortly. I intend to make a more comprehensive statement following consideration of this report.
In addition, the Policing Authority has confirmed that a firm has been selected to undertake their examination into the matter. The Authority anticipates that the examination should commence in late July. It is anticipated that a report will be produced within 8 weeks.
