Call for investigation is not a criticism
Amnesty has made no criticism of An Garda Siochána, nor has it commented on any aspect of the operation.
In cases where lethal force has been used by members of An Garda Siochána, an independent and transparent investigation needs to be held, both in the interests of gardaí themselves and in the interests of public confidence and accountability. In other jurisdictions such cases are automatically referred to an independent investigative body such as an ombudsman. We still do not have such an office in the State.
