In section 14, it is stated that the bureau, when it receives an application, shall make the inquiries of the Garda Síochána as it deems necessary to establish if there is a criminal record or specified information about the person. Was any thought given to that happening in reverse, where if the Garda Síochána becomes aware of someone who committed an offence or about whom it is concerned, it might alert the bureau to that fact so the bureau could amend its records accordingly?
