Garda Síochána Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Maurice Hayes (Independent)
People whose houses are damaged are entitled to be recompensed by the State. However, the appropriate place from which such recompense should be sought is the complaints mechanism. I would be worried if this section were not included. We are all aware of the hay which organised crime could make of an investigation if at every stage a garda could be brought to court and asked to justify his or her actions. Such a situation would make policing impossible.
