GRA - Garda Review Editorials: "The Village magazine bills itself as ‘Ireland’s current affairs weekly’ and is the latest offering from Mr Vincent Browne; amazingly the same writer, interviewer (and person of several jobs who would have great difficulty if members of the Garda Síochána were so engaged) never seems to have anything positive or gracious to say about the Force."ALL A BIT TOO CLOSE"LETTER IN IRISH DAILY MAIL[22/10/09]I RECENTLY CONTACTED THE GARDA OMBUDSMANS COMMISSION TO ASK WHETHER THE THREE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION ALL HAD FATHERS WHO SERVED AS MEMBERS OF AN GARDA SIOCHANA.THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS TRUE.
WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE OF THE HIGHEST CALIBRE THERE IS SOMETHING UNSETTLING ABOUT THEIR SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS.
IS IT "APPROPRIATE"THAT ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION ARE coNNECTED TO A pOLICE FORCE?
THe GARDA SIOCHANA ACT 2005, LAYS GREAT STRESS ON THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE COMMISSION.THIS NEEDS TO BE "RECOGNISED"TO MAINTAIN PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE.WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING SUCH A SITUATION TO EXIST,AND CAN ONE IMAGINE THE "OUTCRY"IF OCCURRED IN NORTHERN IRELAND?
SURELY IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO FIND"EQUALLY"QUALIFIED PEOPLE OF VARIED BACKGROUNDS WILLING TO UNDERTAKE SUCH A TASK.DECLAN MORIARTY,FINGLAS DUBLIN.THIS IS MY QUOTE"THE GOLDEN THREAD"WASENT "FINGERS"FINGLTON'S DAD A GARDA?
