The provisions of section 15 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 apply to statements made before:

Section 14(3) provides that section 15 applies to any statement made before an officer or agency whose services are utilised under section 14(1) "as it applies in relation to any statement made by a person in the course of giving evidence before the Commission". The protection thus covers both the Commission and its investigators, but not statements to the police or to a court in other proceedings.
