Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2021: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

The view was taken that they would not be part of this scheme because they are not on the front line. Nonetheless, considering the increased civilianisation, it will be looked at. However, because of existing schemes for civil servants - the occupational injuries scheme and ex gratia payments scheme - it would be very complicated and would slow up this Bill significantly. I give an undertaking to look at it but not in the context of this Bill.
