Senator Terry also raised the provisions for the Garda Commissioner to impose the sanction of advice, and Senator Maurice Hayes explained that advice is the least severe form of disciplinary sanction. It is tantamount to a slap on the wrist. Caution is perhaps slightly more serious, but it falls into the same category. I take the Senator's point that it might be better if this could be done informally rather than having to go through the entire disciplinary procedure, and I will convey that to the Minister.
