Mo chombhrón leis An Garda chomh maith.

In the aftermath of the Mothers Against Genocide protest at the Dáil, it was reported that the Commissioner said he was going to write to the Ceann Comhairle to state the complaints were inaccurate and that such a letter was later issued. The Minister later stated the footage of the incident in question would be examined. Following the Garda review, it was determined that the allegations were false. In the Commissioner's letter, he referred to a comprehensive review indicating all searches were lawful and in accordance with established procedures. Can he confirm that there are cameras at all the locations where the searches took place? I understand that, at the time, a complaint had not yet been made to Fiosrú. Was it proper for either the Commissioner or Minister to pre-empt a complaint to Fiosrú and categorically rule out any alleged impropriety?
