Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan will today set out the Government’s four-year implementation plan for the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland.
Mr Flanagan will launch the Policing Service for the Future plan alongside Garda Commissioner Drew Harris in Kevin Street Garda Station this afternoon.
The commission, chaired by Kathleen O’Toole, former Chief Inspector of the Garda Inspectorate, concluded its work and published its final report in September.
One of its 157 recommendations is that all prosecution decisions should be “taken away from the police and given to an expanded state solicitor or national prosecution service”.
Mr Flanagan is expected to accept all 157 recommendations, with the caveat that 21 of them be recommended only “in principle”, with further analysis required before implementation.
