I presume that is out of the greater number of victims, however many thousands of people that comprises. There is almost the same number of perpetrators. What is the Garda offering people in those cases? We are talking about 51 out of some thousands of people. Can the Garda Commissioner give us a sense of what they were seeking when they responded? Were they looking for anything in particular? Were they encouraging follow-through? Colleagues referred to not letting the most serious matters lie in abeyance. Were respondents asking for the incidents to be picked up and pursued?
