I share concern in regard to a couple of queries raised. I too, find section 5 a little dense. Perhaps it could be teased out on Committee Stage. I am not sure whether its import is that an officer from the Garda who goes to the North and commits a disciplinary offence will not be dealt with until the expiration or termination of that period. Is the implication that once this happens, his or her secondment will be terminated and he or she will be brought back? I can see the difficulty involved in living and negotiating between two sets of disciplinary procedures and accept that one force will want to hold on to its disciplinary procedures.
