AGS is critical of proposals contained in the Policing and Security Bill, which will bolster the powers of the Garda Ombudsman and the Policing Authority.
The Association of Garda Superintendents, meeting in Naas, are accusing the government of intending to givemore power to oversight bodies to deal with Gardaí, than the Gardaí have to deal with criminals
The annual delegate conference is taking place in the Kilashee Hotel.
The Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris, and Justice Minister, Heather Humphreys, are due to address the event.
AGS is critical of proposals contained in the Policing and Security Bill, which will bolster the powers of the Garda Ombudsman and the Policing Authority.
Issues such as oversight, accommodation and proposed legislation, will also be debated today.
Addressing the conference on Wednesday afternoon, the Justice Minister says planned changes to how the Gardai are policed are 'the right thing to do'.
The new policing bill would give oversight bodies more powers to regulate Gardai.
Heather Humphreys says there will be further discussion around the bill, but greater transparency is needed.
