Ms Doireann Ansbro:

That was one of our recommendations. We recommended that when we made our submission to the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland and we also have made submissions on this legislation. It is about making human rights standards real and tangible and having the possibility of identifying a human rights breach that may not reach the threshold of criminality but has an effect on an individual nonetheless. It is not just about identifying such a breach; there must be some kind of accountability and repercussions for it. That is where our view comes from in terms of including human rights in the code of ethics and making a breach of the code of ethics a disciplinary matter.
