I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that members on duty will, in all reasonable circumstances and when the nature of the duty permits, disclose their identity to any person directly affected by, or properly concerned with, the duty being undertaken. Where any member fails or refuses to do so, they may, depending on the circumstances involved, be liable to disciplinary proceedings.
