I thank Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring for what was a very comprehensive answer in which she outlined the reasons, but it was not actually an answer to the question I had asked her. I asked specifically whether she had numbers for me in the 20% category which she has highlighted and the 80% category, in respect of which the commission identifies a timeline issue associated with how An Garda Síochána is responding? I appreciate the information on all of the reasons this issue arises, but I am trying to gauge from the submission whether it arises 20%, 50% or 90% of the time. Is it happening 90% of the time in the 20% category which Ms Justice Ring rightly points out is very important? Does the issue arise primarily where there are more serious complaints? What numbers is GSOC experiencing?
