Proposed Garda oversight powers ‘unconstitutional’, Harris says

New “disproportionate” powers to be given to the Garda oversight agencies are so unfair to gardaí who could be placed under investigation that they are “unconstitutional”, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said.

He was commenting on reforms contained in the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill, which seeks to implement the 2018 recommendations of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. Mr Collins said the 2015 legislation, which provided for the authority, “created a greater structural distance” between the Department of Justice and the Garda and, as such, “created a distance between politics and policing”.The authority was opposed to “returning responsibility to the Garda Síochána for determining the [annual] Policing Plan”.

Absolutely needed...Recent news reports shows that

And he’s such a totally unbiased bystander constitutional lawyer, too. (He is neither, I am wildly guessing.)

Can’t really play the constitution card anymore.

Unlike the draconian health laws that you support I suppose

Wouldn’t believe Lord’s Prayer out of his mouth

So is being an MI5 spy, Drew

Fuck me, as soon as any vested interest is threatened in this country, everyone is the AG. How the fuck is it acceptable for a Garda chief to say shit like this? Mind your own fucking business, plod.
