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

 

There is merit in what Senator Maurice Hayes has said. It is often the case that people leave employment, having been guilty of misconduct, with pension rights and gratuities. It is important that if the offence has the effect of impacting on those benefits while a person is still in service then it should equally have an impact if the person leaves an employment. I am not sure how that can be incorporated. That is the only situation I can envisage where there would be a penalty other than dismissal. It could be examined in the context of the regulations.
