Garda Síochána (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Jan 2015)

Derek Nolan: We are coming to the end of a very difficult time for the policing authorities in this country, namely An Garda Síochána and the Garda Síochana Ombudsman Commission, GSOC. The last two years have been full of controversies relating to penalty points and the relationship between the gardaí and the commission, which got so strained at one point that it led to public...

Derek Nolan: This issue has moved on a great deal since then. The chief executive of the RSA had meetings with Garda whistleblowers to discuss incidents he considered so important that he reported them to GSOC and the Comptroller and Auditor General. I would like to know if he also felt it was appropriate or if he was comfortable enough to report it to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
