Report on Roma scandals ‘highly critical’

The report by Children’s Ombudsman Emily Logan is understood to be highly critical of the actions by officers in the separate cases in Tallaght and Athlone.
Ms Logan submitted her report to Alan Shatter, the then justice minister, six weeks ago and comments he made at the annual meeting of the Garda Superintendents Association a few days later were taken as a reference to its findings.
