I go back to two questions I asked the first time but which the witnesses might have missed. Reference was made to the fact that legal redress is available in the North. I asked if GSOC had discussed this with the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality and asked for the same. I also asked about disciplinary proceedings and sanctions. At the moment, they are within the remit of the Garda Commissioner. Should they be removed from her and structured in a different way?

I have two new questions. On promotions, is GSOC aware of people being put forward for promotion who are under some form of investigation? We are aware of one whistleblower who has complained of serious bullying by some members of the hierarchy in the station where he works. Despite this, it seems to be continuing. How can that be dealt with? It is not being dealt with at present. Does GSOC have any idea as to how best to deal with that problem?
