Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

To echo the sentiment expressed by Deputy Bruton in regard to consistency, we all engage with the LEOs in our own areas but it would be fair to say that some areas are stronger than others. While I might not agree directly with Deputy Bruton’s proposal in terms of centres of excellence, there is definitely a space whereby efforts can be made to ensure consistency across the board. Where something is being done well in one area, particularly where a colleague who engages with their own LEO says it does things in a certain way, you do sometimes scratch your head and wonder why not in my area. There seems to be that little bit of consistency missing. Where something is working well in one area, there should be a mechanism for it to be shared and replicated. If that is not happening organically, it needs a push and some structure.
