What happens following a referral under section 102?

If a matter is referred to GSOC under section 102, GSOC must investigate, with
a view to establishing the facts of the situation and clarifying whether it
may have resulted from garda misconduct. In many cases, this will require
a GSOC investigator or team of investigators to attend the scene of an
incident and work closely with An Garda Síochána teams there.
