I refer to the Commissioner’s presentation and his reference to the proposed granting of powers to the new Garda ombudsman body as being "disproportionate" and "unconstitutional". The term "flagrant breach of [...] human rights", was used. He also referred to there being no "mechanism for Garda personnel to complain to an independent oversight body", that investigations by the proposed new GSOC would take a long time, "be incredibly stressful" and a lack of communication between the new GSOC and the garda being investigated in that context. It was stated as well that there would be powers to search premises and offices. I wonder what the representative from the ICCL would make of those points.
