As regards complaints, is there a red flag system if an above-average number of complaints are emanating from a particular Garda division or station in whatever area? To qualify that, I acknowledge some of the complaints made are not admissible, as can be seen from the figures presented by GSOC. There are many vexatious complaints but there are also some genuine complaints. If there are several admissible complaints in respect of a particular area, division or station, does that trigger investigation by GSOC as there may be a more serious matter at play?
