GSOC closing cases within days without even telling victims anything
No appeal process after GSOC result
GSOC is run by 75 percent gardai and retired Gardai
GSOC NOT independent
GSOC NOT impartial
More waste of taxpayer's money on reports they ignore and brush under the carpet
GSOC is full of retired gardai covering up for corrupt gardai who steal people's money and property in searches and on the street
People have no trust in the justice department still, as it is rotten to the core
GSOC needs to be disbanded it is corrupt to the core denying it gets complaints and never even speaking with complainants

ECtHR. Belilos v. Switzerland, application no. 10328/83, Judgement of 29 Apr 1988.
GSOC is not Independent and Impartial
The applicant, Mrs Belilos, had taken part in an unauthorized street demonstration following which a police officer imposed a fine on her. The applicant challenged the fine first before the Police Board. The Police Board found that the facts had been established correctly and that the legal qualification and the fine were correctly assessed. The applicant brought further proceedings seeking to declare void the fine and the criminal proceedings against her before the Criminal Cassation Division of the Vaud Cantonal Court. The latter, however, dismissed the applicant’s action because it had only a limited jurisdiction over fines imposed by the Police Board. The same conclusion was reached by the Federal Court upon public law appeal proceedings. The applicant complained that the Police Board was not an independent tribunal within the meaning of the Article 6(1) echr. The Police Board was an administrative body formed of one policeman that would be necessarily biased when called to review the sanctions imposed by his/her colleagues.
The Court first analysed the status of the Police Board in Swiss legislation and case-law. As it appeared, the relevant laws considered the Police Board a “municipal authority”. Furthermore, the Federal Court described the Police Board in its judgments as an “administrative authority”, term that has been employed by the Swiss Government in its submissions before the Court in Strasbourg.53 Second, the Court emphasized the importance of appearances in cases such as that brought by the applicant. The Court pointed out that “the member of the Police Board is a senior civil servant who is liable to return to other departmental duties. The ordinary citizen will tend to see him as a mem- ber of the police force subordinate to his superiors and loyal to his colleagues. A situation of this kind may undermine the confidence which must be inspired by the courts in a democratic society”.

Gsoc leaked sensitive complaint file
Gsoc leaked a complainant’s entire case file – which concerned a sensitive, personal matter – to another person with the same name.
Gsoc’s data protection unit sent the case file to the third party by secure email after they made a GDPR request seeking a copy of their own complaint to the garda watchdog.
The leaked records include a copy of a complaint form and the name of the midlands station where the garda who was the subject of the allegations is based.
Organisations who leak data can face fines of up to €20 million under GDPR law.
