Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Coimisinéir agus an fhoireann chuig an coiste. To start with the Commissioner's opening statement, she spoke about "collective failure from top down and bottom up". She stated: "We all take responsibility for this". Does that mean that every garda is responsible for this appalling mess? Is every person who wears the uniform responsible?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: Is it fair to the garda working in the traffic corps who did not input false data, had no supervision role, was not appointed as assistant commissioner or Commissioner for the Commissioner to say that he or she is responsible as well?

Pearse Doherty: Of course they are-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: -----but that is not what the Commissioner has said. She said they were responsible. She said, "We all take responsibility for this". I suggest to the Commissioner that members of the Garda Síochána under her control who had no hand, act or part in this were not responsible and it is wrong for her, as Commissioner, to spread the responsibility that wide and suggest to them that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: With respect, that is not what the Commissioner said. She said, "We all take responsibility for this". Does the Commissioner want to withdraw that remark with regard to suggesting that each person is responsible for what has gone on?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: I will move on but I suggest the Commissioner has already laid the blame on every member of the Garda Síochána in her opening statement and she has failed to withdraw that when I have given her the opportunity to do so. That is misguided on her part. With regard to the figure of 14,700 we have heard about since the press conference, can the Commissioner inform the committee if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: That is not my question. Assistant Commissioner Finn has clarified for the committee that the 14,700 cases brought before the court and from which convictions arose were issues where summons were issued without them being given an opportunity to pay a fixed charge notice. That is what he said in his press release on 27 March. My question is on the review, which identified 1,130 cases where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: The witnesses are not clear about this. Some of the 14,700 individuals who were convicted before the courts were afforded the opportunity to pay the fixed charge and did so. Is that correct? The earlier response to this question seems not to be accurate.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána (30 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: The press release states that the examinations between 1 January 2006 and 27 May 2016 identified 146,865 summonses for people who had committed offences and were brought before the courts incorrectly. This means they were issued with summonses without having been given the opportunity to pay the fixed charge. That statement is not accurate because some of those included people who were...
