Independent Monitoring Commission Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

Should it happen – and I hope we will never encounter such a scenario – that British forces were involved in illegal activity, would it be open to the Garda to use this monitoring commission to bring that activity to its attention? That would be a real test of the independence of the commission, bearing in mind that we would have a representative on the commission and there would also be an American representative as well as someone from Northern Ireland who might have an interest in this also. Could the commission be used as a forum to deal with such a situation if it were to arise?
