Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I am not asking the Commissioner to give any details about an individual case but I am perfectly entitled to put a question, particularly in the context of O'Higgins, of the public assurances we have received from the Commissioner's offices that the Garda Síochána is a safe place for people to come forward with information when that public statement is contradicted by other issues. We have a right to tease that out. Without looking at the specific case, is the Commissioner perfectly happy to reiterate her statement that she is not privy to any specific allegations involving mistreatment of people who have come forward as whistleblowers?
