Submission on the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill

We welcome the opportunity to provide our submission on the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill. We and our predecessor, the Irish Human Rights Commission (‘the IHRC’), have previously made submissions and recommendations for legislative reform in this area; particularly on the inadequacies and limitations of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, human rights standards in policing, including the requirement of transparency, the importance of collecting disaggregated equality data, and the need to tackle racial profiling. We remain available to assist if further scrutiny of the Bill is required and on any specific issue which may arise.
