Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Oversight: Discussion
10:40 am
Dr. Des Hogan:
Our position is that it does not necessarily have to be a new body, but it does need to be an independent body. The question is how one would structure and design it. As long as the body overseeing complaints relating to that function is structurally independent and has the ability and mandate to investigate, subject to national security safeguards, we would consider it acceptable.
