Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

In 2012 and 2013 one employee was dismissed for fraudulent activity and one was dismissed for inappropriate behaviour. Two employees were sanctioned with reductions in pay for a different offence. One employee retired before the disciplinary process was completed. Seven cases are still being progressed through the disciplinary code process. In regard to three cases referred prior to 2012, one employee resigned prior to dismissal and the remaining two cases are still to be finalised. I want to make sure I am relating the report to the precise nature of the cases.
