I move amendment No. 9:



In page 5, line 37, to delete “as soon as practicable” and substitute “within 30 days”.
I will be brief. Sinn Féin has concerns that the Garda sometimes can cause undue delays in the granting of information or data to GSOC investigators. The amendment proposes to replace the words "as soon as practicable" with "within 30 days". Its purpose is to place a limit on the length of time the Garda can withhold information or not give information to investigators.
