The practice of leaking from An Garda Síochána, which is patently obvious to the observing eye, is particularly disturbing. I am familiar with an incident that occurred and have spoken to the mother of the individual concerned, who is no longer with us. A film of a woman in a particularly distressed state walking down a prominent street in Dublin, O'Connell Street, was circulated via WhatsApp. That is utterly disturbing. We have to learn from that and provide within legislation protections against such actions. That is why this is a well-judged amendment.
