I am not saying that nothing is happening but I do not know if the Garda position that it has noted this, it was not good enough and it will move on and improve its processes is acceptable. There has to be consequences and accountability for people who were guilty of significant wrongdoing. I accept there is proportion in that regard but I do not know if that is acceptable.

I appreciate the deputy commissioner cannot go into the detail of anything that is happening at the tribunal but is it his understanding that it is an offence to deliberately withhold or fail to disclose relevant documentation to a tribunal of inquiry?
