Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Ronan Clogher:

Absolutely. It is only a natural reaction of self preservation, but there has been a serious overzealousness for a number of years. The issue of suspensions has been a very topical one. We find it totally unacceptable that someone is allowed to review their own decision about someone being suspended. It is a contradiction of any sort of modern standards of corporate governance.
