Details of new Garda watchdog body announced
From:ireland.com
Tuesday, 4th March, 2003

The Government has outlined its proposals for a new body called the Garda Inspectorate which will act as watchdog over An Garda Siochána.

Addressing today's Irish Council for Civil Liberties seminar, the Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Mr Wille O' Dea, said the new body would have comprehensive powers of investigation, equal to those that might be given to an Ombudsman.

The Human Rights Commission have argued that the proposed Inspectorate would not have enough independence from the Gardaí to carry out its functions properly.
