Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

There were two processes. We dealt with the issues raised in the correspondence. That went to the assistant commissioner to deal with. The issues that were raised were raised by Garda Reserve, so I want to be clear that it was not about identifying the person who had written the correspondence. Even though this was anonymous, it was suggested that it was from a Garda Reserve member. A number of seminars were held around the country with the Garda Reserve to address the issues, to address inclusivity for the Garda reservists in order to ensure that they were valued, and to give a forum where reservists could raise the issues they wanted to. The correspondence indicated that this individual had written to the Road Safety Authority because that person felt there was not a forum to express issues. We put that in place as well. That was the purpose of addressing that. Separately, the deputy commissioner was dealing with addressing the general issues raised in the correspondence.
