Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2026: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-17
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

This amendment is very simple and again refers to page 11. It relates to the record of a search under sections 9 and 10, which is required by section 13(2)(b), and amends it to include the time, place and date of the search. That would cover circumstances where people are brought to special custody suites. In any event, there is no reason the place of the search should not be recorded on PULSE, wherever it is made and in whatever circumstance.
