Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-12
============================================================

Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

Obviously, we do not want to prevent the police ombudsman having a consultation with the Garda Commissioner if he or she wishes to do so but, in order to preserve the office's independence, we do not feel there should be any such obligation. From my reading of it, it seems there is an obligation. That is why we will be pressing the amendment.
