Patrick Costello (Dublin South Central, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I thank both witnesses for their presentations. In the interests of transparency, I should say that Dr. Logue, as a solicitor, is acting for me in a small legal matter. I want to pick up on something he mentioned in his submission. Paragraph 12 references that several cases have emerged where the data controller deleted or destroyed information after the complaint was filed. I am conscious that An Garda Síochána have a duty to seek out and preserve all evidence bearing on the guilt or innocence of an accused. Does this not apply to the commission or to other judicial bodies here and is that a problem that we as a committee need to fix?
