I move amendment No. 7:

In page 3, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“5. Section 96(1) of the Principal Act is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (1):

“(1) For the purpose of an investigation under section 95, the Ombudsman Commission—

(a) may require a person who, in its opinion, possesses information or has a document or thing in his or her power or control that is relevant to the investigation, to provide that information, document or thing to the Commission, and

(b) where appropriate, may require that person to attend before the Commission for that purpose,

(c) may require the Garda Commissioner to provide the Commission with access to the Garda Síochána Police Using Leading Systems Effectively (PULSE) computer system, and the person and/or Garda Commissioner shall, subject to subsection (4), comply with the requirement.”.”.

Not to labour the point, but this relates to the old chestnut of access to PULSE.
