It is clear on the documentary that its makers say they requested comment from An Garda Síochána. I presume that was from the press office because that would be the most appropriate channel for a media outlet to approach the Garda.

We need clarity on this matter because there is an accountability issue involved. The Commissioner will now have to have to look at the channels of communication between the press office and himself. I have no doubt - and I am sure the Commissioner also has no doubt - that further cases will arise. On that matter, is a dedicated senior official or member of the Commissioner's team charged with looking at historical cases?
