Ciarán Cuffe: I support the amendment. The late US President Eisenhower had a sign on his desk saying "The buck stops here." The buck must stop somewhere. With regard to the ombudsman, it must stop at some individual's desk. It cannot stop at such a diffuse arrangement as a majority of an ombudsman commission. We do not have to look far for an appropriate model. If Nuala O'Loan, in her position as police...
