MOTION NO.23
MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons
That this Council notes that of the approximately 300 individuals who have complained about Garda handling / mishandling of various issues, which issues have been the subject of a review by a panel of seven Barristers set up by the Minister for Justice in or around September 2014, the complainants and / or their representatives have in many instances sent in specific letters to the Minister for Justice but have simply been met with general responses which do not deal with the specific queries raised, and this Council, in recognition of the very significant frustration and anguish suffered by the complainants in the absence of knowledge as to the process set out by the Minister hereby calls upon the Minister to ensure that specific responses to specific queries are given to the complainants and / or their representatives, as a matter of urgency.
REPORT:
If the motion is passed a letter will issue to the Minister conveying the terms of the motion and, upon receipt, a copy of the reply will be circulated to the members.
