Mr. Derek Priestley:

Potentially, yes. I do not disagree with the Senator but the issue for us is that a presumption is being made in legislation that the individual actually knows that this is happening. One might say that of course the individual will know because he or she will have been involved in an incident and so on but we would point to certain types of offences or potential offences where the last thing any member of An Garda Síochána is going to do is tell the suspect that he or she is now under investigation. There is a period of uncertainty there but this legislation puts the onus on the individual to keep his or her commander informed but he or she may not be able to do that. We are pointing to the fact that there is a lack of any formal data sharing mechanism between An Garda Síochána and the military police-----
