-----wearing my Committee of Public Accounts hat and taking an interest in justice issues, it is extraordinary that somebody can be suspended for five years, that the issue has not been concluded and that the taxpayer is picking up the bill. I just want to know how many members of the Garda are in this position. I am just using this case as an example. Why has An Garda Síochána not been able to bring these issues to a conclusion? The taxpayer is picking up the bill and we are down a garda. How many such examples are there? It is an issue for the force in general.
