Engagement with the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission
Mr. Justice Rory MacCabe:
In a case the Deputy mentioned where there might be an issue of mental illness that perhaps had not come to the surface in the course of the criminal proceedings, which resulted in the person ending up in prison, this could fall into the category of being a miscarriage of justice. Such a case was reported in the past week or so. Someone would have recourse to the courts in any event for a remedy in that regard.
