Public Accounts Committee
2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System

Mr. Martin Callinan:
These are members of An Garda Síochána, with respect, so they are supposed to act in a responsible manner. They have responsibilities in the same way as I have in terms of how they perform their duties. It is important that if they see wrongdoing they report it. It is fine if they can deal with it but what is not acceptable is to trawl a database to the extent that it was trawled to come up with such material and then disseminate it to a third person without the authorities being made aware of it and dealing with it.
