Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
537 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a person (details supplied) in County Kerry had been previously appointed as a member of a Garda Síochána Complaints Appeal Board prior to their appointment to office as a judge; if so, the details thereof, including the date of appointment and the total remuneration or expense received. [17873/04]
View answerThere is no record of the person mentioned by the Deputy having been appointed as a member of the Garda Síochána Complaints Appeal Board under the Garda Síochána (Complaints) Act 1986. The person in question was nominated in May 2001 to a panel of persons from which the Garda Commissioner can appoint, as the need arises, a chairman of a Garda Síochána Appeal Board under regulation 25 of the Garda Síochána (Discipline) Regulations 1989. The person mentioned was never appointed chairman of an appeal board and automatically ceased to be on the panel in November 2001. I wrote separately to the Deputy in this regard on 11 June.
