It is not palatable for members of the Garda for these backlogs to be as high as they are. Members who are under investigation are put under strain and stress. As I said, it is about differentiating between right and wrong and I accept the need for the work GSOC does. However, when a considerable number of gardaí are leaving the force, for financial and other reasons, delays should be a big item of concern, as I assume they are. We are concerned.
