Joe Higgins

Question:

229 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason he stated he is not in a position to grant an inquiry to a person (details supplied) concerning his treatment by the justice system due to the fact that he has the details of the case from a meeting of his official and the individual concerned. [36082/05]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

The courts are, subject to the Constitution and the law, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions. There are also avenues open to the person concerned to make complaints against the Garda Síochána, the legal profession and others against whom he has a grievance.
