Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill: Discussion
Mr. Derek Mullen:
I would like to respond briefly to the last point that was made. Fórsa represents staff in GSOC. Much of our time today was spent discussing GSOC's role in investigations. I do not want to speak to that point but I would make the point in defence of the people in GSOC we represent that they operate under the procedures and legislation that are set down from time to time. They are hampered by resource issues, which is a point that was raised. It would remiss of me to let those comments go without defending the people we represent on those particular points.
