Public Accounts Committee
2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System
10:50 am
Mr. Martin Callinan:
With the greatest of respect, Deputy, I have read and seen all the allegations, as the Deputy has done. It is the case - I am sorry for the repetition - that I expect members of An Garda Síochána who are charged with this responsibility to act fairly and impartially, regardless of who these people are. Of course I am alive to the allegations and of course I am reading about them. Let us be clear. I am not saying the system is weak - as the Deputy mentioned a few times, there have been weaknesses identified within the system, but the overall process is quite substantial in terms of success.
