The acting Garda Commissioner will be aware that there is a legal responsibility on senior Garda management to protect whistleblowers. It is reported again today in the media that Sergeant Maurice McCabe is very isolated, unable to attend work and has made repeated complaints about how he is being treated. I spoke to him today on the basis of the article in today's Irish Independent. I am deeply alarmed by what he told me today in regard to the lack of support from senior Garda management. Will the acting Garda Commissioner ring him and find out from him what the problem is and deal with the issue? I ask her to ensure that matter is resolved today. In fairness, he has been granted access to the PULSE system, which is welcome. Sergeant McCabe is at the epicentre of public opinion and represents the change that is necessary.
