On pages 16 and 17 of the report, Mr. Justice O'Higgins made a number of observations on whistleblowers. One of them was that the purpose of the 2007 regulations and the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 is to enable gardaí to make complaints about relevant wrongdoings without fear of adverse repercussions happening to them. Does the Commissioner agree that is the purpose of those regulations and the 2014 Act?
