It is on the lower end of the scale. An incident came to my attention where a complaint was passed from GSOC to be investigated by the local Garda, where the garda who was put forward was not even mentioned in the complaint. To me, that is something that not only would hold up things but it is a complete mix up if a garda is being investigated who has not even been mentioned by the complainant. Other gardaí were but in this instance, the garda who was investigated was not mentioned. How do you deal with that? Obviously the complaint becomes inadmissible with regard to this garda but how does GSOC deal with that?
