I agree that one hopes it would never be necessary to investigate a Garda Commissioner. However, it is appropriate that the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission should have full independence in the matter.
While the circumstances are not the same as in the case of section 103, would access to information be improved if GSOC's ability to access the PULSE system was strengthened and perhaps placed on a statutory footing?
