The Commissioner is aware that two weeks ago Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring stated here that the legislation was insufficient and that while it is uneven and some areas are all right, in general co-operation was at best uneven but certainly in the area of protected disclosures and getting relevant information from An Garda Síochána they were not able to do their job properly because of that lack of co-operation. Is the Commissioner aware of that situation? What steps has she taken to address the deficit and what could be viewed as the frustration of GSOC complaints because of lack of Garda co-operation?
