Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed).
12:00 pm
Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)
Amendment No. 12 is simple. I am trying to convince the Minister to establish a one-person position of Garda ombudsman, rather than an ombudsman commission. I have outlined the reasons for my proposal. The Minister has pointed out that there are commissions of this nature in other jurisdictions, but he was wrong to claim that such a model is used in Canada. There is no singular police service in Canada.
