When a Garda is taking a statement in a Garda station does it have to take place in a private room.
I had to give a statement to a Garda recently and we were moved from a meeting room where it was just me and the Garda. I had to give the rest of my statement in the main Garda office with numerous Gardaí coming and going. I felt very intimidated, nervous and embarassed.
Can a Garda take a statement in these circumstances? Will it "stand up" in court?
