I tend to agree. It is a bit like the change in the Supreme Court. I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the case, but it concerned the change from the Kenny rule on the admissibility of evidence obtained incorrectly. I thought it was going to create a stronger onus on An Garda Síochána to do things correctly and to have to explain it rather than simply being off the hook by virtue of the evidence being ruled out automatically, but it enhances the strength of An Garda Síochána.
