Mr. Martin Callinan:

I hope it would always be the case that members of the Garda Síochána treat everyone equally. We spoke earlier about the issue of discretion. There is a need to apply the principles of equality and non-discrimination. Those first principles, if I can use that term, should be of general application when we interact with members of the public. That is how our people are trained. That is what they should be doing. I accept that we are not perfect. People have off-days for different reasons. That is when complaints arise. Generally speaking, that is what should happen. I hope it would happen. I will convey the Deputy's thoughts to my management board when it assembles again shortly.
