Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-13
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 44:
In page 57, line 2, after “a” to insert “fair,”.
This is a very simple amendment. It seeks to insert the word "fair" in respect of the performance by a member of Garda personnel of their duties. As drafted, the Bill provides that the duties shall be discharged in a “lawful, professional, punctual and prompt manner.” The amendment would ensure that first and foremost, Garda personnel shall perform all their duties as outlined in a fair or impartial manner.
