I presume that is linked to the lack of sanction. I believe it is linked to Ms Justice Ring's statement that it was troubling that An Garda Síochána continued to conduct criminal investigations into its members without the knowledge or involvement of GSOC. Either the Garda does not know it is supposed to do that or it is something more sinister. This is very troubling. Ms Justice Ring referred to the new draft protocol and stated that GSOC had not received a response from the Garda Commissioner about the protocol to date. How long has GSOC been waiting for the Commissioner to provide an answer? Have steps been taken to put the protocol in place?
