Mr. Martin Callinan:

I have no concerns whatsoever in the context of the confidential reporting mechanism that is set up and well established in An Garda Síochána. It has been working very well for quite a number of years. To repeat what I said earlier, if anybody has any wrongdoing to report, they have a clear responsibility as members of An Garda Síochána to report those matters. There is a process of doing that up through the authorities or going through the confidential reporting mechanism.

I can assure the committee once again - this is probably the third or fourth time I have done it but I will do it again - that I will support fully any person who is reporting wrongdoing and so will these officers around me and all the other officers in An Garda Síochána.
