I thank all the witnesses for their presentations this morning. While they were making those presentations, I received a text from someone who works in a hospital in which a nurse was held on the ground in a headlock and physically choked. She was turning blue when a porter happened to come into the room and helped to get her out of a very difficult situation. What is frightening about that case, in which a nurse was held in a full headlock on the floor in a hospital premises, is that the person responsible was never prosecuted.

We are talking about more than 5,000 cases being reported in a very short time period. Of those, how many did the Garda prosecute? How many were brought forward for Garda prosecutions or were put on the record with the Garda authorities? Do we have any figures in respect of the numbers that were reported and the number of Garda prosecutions?
