I have been reflecting since my last interaction. I do not accept the Commissioner's contention that it is highly unlikely and most improbable that figures were not redacted when they were sent to senior management. It would be worthwhile to reflect on that. It is possible that this is being orchestrated by a smaller group rather than being systematic.

Does the Commissioner have any concern that statistics for complaints made by members of the public against An Garda Síochána have been altered or changed in any way to make the force look better and that there are fewer complaints recorded than have actually been lodged?

When did the Commissioner engage with the DPP on the fixed charge notices?

I hope the Commissioner can regain public confidence. If she does, she will put Lazarus in the ha'penny place.
