Garda Complaints Board look to British police inspectorate

THE head of the Garda Complaints Board is to go on a fact-finding mission to England next Monday to see how their newly established police inspectorate works.

Gordon Holmes, chairman of the Garda Complaints Board (GCB), will travel to London with the Department of Justice assistant general secretary Michael Flahive to meet senior members of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

“We will meet with the chair and higher executive members of the commission to see what they’re doing and how they are going about their job,” said Mr Holmes.
