Is GSOC satisfied that there are adequate procedures within the various Garda stations? I suppose the reason I am raising this is I ended up doing a judicial review a number of years ago over a £20 note. When I am saying it was a £20 note, I am going back a good few years ago. A garda was dismissed from the force and I was involved in a judicial review and got him reinstated. I am wondering from the point of view of procedures. Obviously, proper procedures were not followed even though it went through a full Garda investigation, and he was still dismissed. I am wondering whether GSOC is satisfied that there are adequate procedures there to deal with issues like that within the force, and follow-on from complaints that come to GSOC.
