Cormac O'Keeffe: Justice committee begins examination of 'legislative beast'

Proposed law aims to implement major recommendations of 2018 report, writes Security Correspondent Cormac O'Keeffe

The bill will see the replacement of the existing oversight bodies: Gsoc by the Police Ombudsman, and the Policing Authority and the Garda Inspectorate by the Policing and Community Safety Authority (PCSA)

At 270 pages, the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill is a legislative beast.

The proposed law aims to implement the major recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland, which published its report in September 2018.
