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

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I oppose the section, in a similar vein to the previous section. The Bill will provide for the appointment of the deputy Garda commissioner and we oppose the entire section given its inclusion poses similar risks to section 26 in politicising the office of deputy Garda commissioner.
