Thank you. This issue was raised by a whistleblower in the west, a reservist, and it worked its way up the line to people responsible in various parts of the country for traffic management and so on yet there was no knowledge at the highest level in An Garda Síochána about it. I find that unbelievable. I know hundreds of gardaí. Everyone knew this was going on, except senior management. That is the evidence that has been brought to me. This is unbelievable and no one is being held to account, which everyone on the street finds unbelievable as well.
Mr. Twomey was asked at the press conference in February why he had not informed the Policing Authority of the report prior to its publication. Why was the Policing Authority not made aware of the report?
