Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Oversight: Discussion
2:20 pm
Mr. Robert K. Olson:
I will take a shot at answering the Deputy's question. From a micro-perspective, when we did the report on fixed charge penalties it became clear to us that not every Irish citizen was aware that a petition process is available. The Deputy asks what needs to be done in this regard and the report makes some recommendations on that matter. The Government must do more marketing, as the private sector does, by getting its message out and ensuring members of the public are informed. That is not the case at present.
