Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)

I am inclined to agree with Senators Brian and Maurice Hayes. It seems to me that the element of surprise is one of the ombudsman's better tools when raiding a Garda station. If one will have to go to the Garda Commissioner to seek his permission before doing so, the power of the investigation would surely be damaged if — God forbid — the Garda Commissioner were involved in any form of collusion.
