I am somewhat at a loss as to why, if all these processes are in place, GSOC and the whistleblowers are not happy. How can there be such a contradiction between the public statements the Garda authorities are making about how everything is grand and things are improving and the direct opposite position that is being set out by GSOC and the whistleblowers? The witnesses have said they were not privy to any of those circumstances. Does that not mean this is going on behind their backs and that their authority is being undermined if what they are saying in public is being contradicted by the reality on the ground and behind the scenes?
