Cuffe welcomes new measures to
improve Garda investigations |
Green Party Justice spokesperson
Ciarán Cuffe TD has welcomed new measures to improve Garda
investigations into serious crimes. The measures, due to be unveiled
by Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy today, include the appointment of
21 new detective inspectors in Dublin, special victim interviewers
and incident room co-ordinators to free up specialist resources.
Deputy Cuffe said: "I am delighted to see Commissioner Conroy
taking on board the recommendations of the Morris Tribunal and the
Garda Inspectorate and introducing these modernising measures to the
force. Such initiatives can only serve to enhance the work of An
Garda Síochána in successfully investigating serious crimes.
"I am particularly pleased to see the introduction of specialist
victim interviewers, who will be trained to deal with children under
14, those with special needs and victims of sex crime. It is vital
that members of An Garda Síochána are properly equipped to deal with
the most vulnerable in our society."
