Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will just follow up on that point exactly. I want to ask the GRA for its perspective on the need for this among its members. Clearly, we are having a conversation about the balance of rights, about enhancing confidence in policing, and about enhancing confidence in the community that policing will be as effective as it can be within the appropriate structures that we need. We have seen...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I agree there is a huge opportunity there because, as Mr. O'Connor has said, it can be such a difficult thing to get a report and to be able to gather evidence. So much of it is so nuanced and that is one of the difficulties that the organisation has in the context of training. The organisation has the capacity to use it for a specified purpose but there are issues around the protocol, how...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: In terms of drafting, I ask the Department to consider the role of this Oireachtas committee because this is a very fine balance of rights that could just as easily be dealt with on a legislative basis rather than being left to codes of practice. Is there a role for the Department in terms of coming back and providing a level of detail to this committee and its successors on the operation of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have a question for Mr. Sunderland which he may have already answered; apologies if that is so. Presumably in drafting, there will be a legal basis for storing and processing the data. How long is appropriate for storing, recognising what An Garda Síochána is saying about gathering evidence over a period of time, particularly in domestic violence cases?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Legally, would it be possible to create subcategories of data? A recording, for example, of me in my car having been stopped for a traffic error of some kind might not need to be kept for very long but in domestic violence cases, a body of evidence might be gathered over a number of years. Could Mr. Sunderland envisage subcategories of data for different purposes? Is that okay legally? Is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have one question for the GRA and one for Mr. Collins. I will pick up on what Senator Ruane said about the perception of distribution being overly focused on areas possibly experiencing overpolicing. What is Mr. O'Connor’s view on that? The community I represent has a very strong view that it would like to be supported by effective and enhanced policing. How do we assess that or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill 2021: Discussion (21 Sep 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I tend to agree. It is a bit like the change in the Supreme Court. I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the case, but it concerned the change from the Kenny rule on the admissibility of evidence obtained incorrectly. I thought it was going to create a stronger onus on An Garda Síochána to do things correctly and to have to explain it rather than simply being off the hook by...
