Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill: Discussion
Ms Antoinette Cunningham:
I would agree. What is said under 158(3) is that “A complainant under this Part need not identify the member of garda personnel who is the subject of the complaint”. That is fine. A complaint can open without the member being identified. However, the subhead fails to state how, when the member is subsequently identified, he or she will be notified at that point. That is where there is an absence of detail in the Bill.
