Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I will waive my opposition to the section at this point and come back on Report Stage with an proposed alternative section. My assumption is the process is laid out in how we have previously done it but as for this legislation specifically, I will withdraw my opposition to the section, reserving the right to submit amendments that will protect the current model whereby the Policing Authority is part of the selection process for the Commissioner.
