Criminal Justice (Surveillance) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
The Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland does not have the interception powers or the surveillance type powers envisaged in this legislation. It was established in 2001 and I understand those matters have been reviewed. Our commission was modelled on it and further consideration will be given not just to the surveillance issue but to the interception question also.
