Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 January 2014
157. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if it is the case that a member of An Garda Síochána must provide his or her name to a member of the public when requested to do so; and the penalties applying if the Garda refuses or if a false name is supplied. [4693/14]
View answerI am informed by the Garda Commissioner that members on duty will, in all reasonable circumstances and when the nature of the duty permits, disclose their identity to any person directly affected by, or properly concerned with, the duty being undertaken. Where any member fails or refuses to do so, they may, depending on the circumstances involved, be liable to disciplinary proceedings.
