Garda Oversight and Accountability: Policing Authority

9:00 am

Ms Josephine Feehily:

Yes. The broader issue of the spontaneous notification of events and material to the authority is something we have raised in public as long ago as June 2016, if I am not mistaken, when we felt we had not been given a spontaneous disclosure about whatever was the problem at that time; it was the fixed charge penalty notices in June 2016. We subsequently raised it in the context of our work on breath tests and it is included in one of our submissions to which I referred.
