90% of requests from Garda Ombudsman fully complied with

Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan said that almost 90% of requests for information from the Garda Ombudsman have been fully complied with since last September.

He said he accepted there had been delays by the force in respect of some requests, prompting his establishment of a new system eight months ago.

Under the protocol between the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission and the gardaí, there is a 30-day limit for the handing over of requested documentation.
