Dismissal for reasons of public confidence of members below the rank of chief superintendent
|
| |
51. Without prejudice to the Performance Regulations and the Conduct Regulations, the Garda Commissioner may dismiss from An Garda Síochána a member below the rank of chief superintendent where—
|
|
| |
(a) by reason of the member’s conduct (which includes any act or omission) the Garda Commissioner is of the opinion that—
|
|
| |

|
|
| |
(ii) the dismissal of the member is necessary to maintain that confidence,
|
|
| |
(b) the member has been informed of the basis for the Garda Commissioner’s opinion under paragraph (a),
|
|
| |
(c) the member has been provided with an opportunity to make submissions as to why he or she ought not to be dismissed, and
|
|
| |
