I again ask the Minister to set out the specific legislation within which members of the force exercise discretion for the termination of fixed charge notices. What legislation permits a senior officer to terminate more than 1,000 fixed charge notices, most of which came from outside of his district? This is unfair to the many honest gardaí who work really hard and whose profession is being tarnished. The conclusions reached by any internal review conducted in private cannot retain public trust and confidence because of the manner in which they were reached.
