I move amendment No. 30:

In page 59, lines 35 and 36, to delete "complaint under section 90" and substitute "a matter under this Act".

This concerns a matter raised on Committee Stage. Why is the power to search a Garda station restricted to investigation under section 90? The power to search a Garda station must be available when all matters covered in the Bill are being investigated. Is this a restriction on the ombudsman's powers?
