complainant and the member of the police force concerned.3If the complainant and the member of the police force concerned agree to attempt to resolve the complaint through mediation, the Ombudsman shall act as mediator.4Anything communicated to the Ombudsman while acting as mediator is not admissible in evidence in any subsequent criminal, civil or disciplinary proceedings.5But that does not make inadmissible anything communicated to the Ombudsman if it consists of or includes an admission relating to a matter which does not fall to be resolved through mediation.6If a complaint is resolved through mediation under this section, no further proceedings under this Act shall be taken against the member of the police force concerned in respect of the subject matter of the complaint.2For subsection (1) of section 59 of the 1998 Act (disciplinary proceedings) there shall be substituted—1Subsection (1B) applies if—athe Director decides not to initiate criminal proceedings

provisions as if it had been duly made, issued or done by, or in relation to, the Board.3Anything (including any legal proceedings) in the process of being done by or in relation to the Authority

had passed on him a sentence of imprisonment or detention, andbthe relevant period has not ended.4The relevant period is the period of five years beginning with the person’s discharge in respect of

a member of a sub-group in respect of liability incurred by him in connection with the business of the sub-group.121The council may insure against risks of a member of a sub-group meeting with a personal accident, whether fatal or not, while he is engaged on the business of the sub-group.2Sub-paragraph (3) applies if the council receives a sum under any such insurance in respect of an accident to a member of the sub-group.3The council shall pay the sum to the member or his personal representatives, after deducting any expenses incurred in its recovery.4The provisions of the Life Assurance Act 1774 as extended by the Life Insurance (Ireland) Act 1866 do not apply to any insurance under this paragraph.13The Board shall for each financial year make to the council a grant equal to three-quarters of the expenses reasonably incurred by the council in that year in connection with the establishment of, or the exercise of functions by, sub-groups.141The quorum for a meeting of a
