Law set to compel commissioner to give papers to Gsoc

Gsoc chairwoman Judge Mary Ellen Ring publicly sought such powers, including the ability to seek a court order directing the commissioner to provide documentation, when she appeared before the Oireachtas justice committee last September.
In a report on Garda oversight, published in December, the committee called for a “statutory means of redress” when the gardaí failed to comply with Gsoc requests for documentation.
