New Garda Inspectorate suggested

The Garda Inspectorate should be replaced by a Criminal Justice Inspectorate, which would supervise the entire criminal justice system, according to an Oireachtas report.

Such a super-watchdog would be responsible for inspecting not just for the Garda, but the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, the Courts Service, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Probation Service, and the Legal Aid Board.

It could be expanded to take in the State pathologist, forensic science laboratory, and prison governors.
