Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána
10:30 am
Mr. John Twomey:
I think I addressed that issue on the day. I addressed the issue with the Policing Authority in subsequent meetings. What happened on that particular day was that correspondence was sent to the Department of Justice and Equality and a note was put on the Garda website. The Road Safety Authority was notified some days after that. The failure to notify the Policing Authority was an administrative error. All of the other agencies were notified. A number of letters were issued at the same time on the fixed charge notice and breath test issues but notification of the report to the Policing Authority was overlooked. I have addressed the issue with the Policing Authority and it has accepted my explanation.
