Garda Síochána Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
In response to Senator Walsh, the purpose of the amendment is to protect the human rights of the wider public, not to afford greater protection to the human rights of one section of it. Although the public wants a strong police force, it also wants it to be accountable and trustworthy. Legislation providing for the protection of human rights is one way of achieving this.
