Garda Síochána Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
12:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
I do not support the amendment. Currently, it is possible for a committee of the Houses of the Oireachtas to summon the Garda Commissioner to attend before it provided it is using its powers of compellability. The amendment seeks to provide that the Commissioner will be at the beck and call of any committee which resolves any afternoon to require him to attend.
