The Department of Justice has still not developed a plan to implement the recommendations of a report on the threat of corruption in An Garda Síochána — more than a year after it was published.

Helen McEntee, the justice minister, said that her department’s plan to implement the Garda Inspectorate report had “taken longer” than expected and that she would have liked for it to be completed by now.
