Garda Síochána (Police Co-Operation) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

I do not want to get into the petty details of these matters, but it should be pointed out that officers leave with certain enhancements, such as added years or a lump sum. They do much better than others. If they are dismissed on disciplinary grounds, they do not receive the benefits I have mentioned. Even though the difficult person may have been removed from the premises, there should be some means of penalising him or her. I am not sure that justice is necessarily done in that way.
