Mr. John Farrelly:

Funnily enough, we met with the Garda to discuss that issue. I will let my colleague reply to the Deputy's question. There is a lack of transparency. The State has the Mental Health Act in place whereby if a person is brought into a mental health unit, there is a rigorous examination, transparency and a vindication of his or her rights. That transparency is not in place with respect to gardaí using their powers when people go into a station. I will hand over to our general counsel, who will give the Deputy the exact detail on what is required.
