Mr. Hume made reference earlier to the fact that some complainants can be frivolous or vexatious. Of those cases, I think the figure Mr. Whelan gave was 3,000 complaints against An Garda Síochána in 2022 and of these, 2,000 had been closed off in a relatively short period of time, leaving the 1,826 cases. Is it the case that some individuals who, as we would term it, are known to gardaí, make several complaints about several gardaí on a regular basis? Each case still has to be investigated but where they are minor and frivolous, are they the kind of cases that get closed off quite quickly?
