I want to refer to protected disclosures. There are protected disclosures from gardaí. A recent report outlined that, apart from 13 cases that were discontinued, 36 were still on the books and that there has not been any case from last year that led to a prosecution or recommendation of disciplinary action. This is the third report of that kind. The first, covering 2014 to 2016, indicated nine disclosures were undergoing examination or investigation and that two were closed. The 2017 report indicated that, of the 31 cases before GSOC, 25 were being examined or investigated at the end of 2017 and six were closed. With regard to the six, the commission considered that further examination was not necessary or reasonably practicable. It seems that, in most years, the majority of cases are carried over and that the remainder are closed. Am I correct that no garda has faced a sanction from a GSOC investigation following on from a section 7 or section 8 protected disclosure?
