I was struck by Mr. Clifford saying in his submission in regard to the long delays in investigation that it was only when he shone a spotlight on it, brought it to public attention and wrote about the issue that the investigation was speedily conducted and concluded.

In its research, has TI Ireland picked up on how long it takes to undertake investigations? When a protected disclosure goes public, does the pace of investigation speed up? Is there a distinct difference in the pace or length of investigation between those cases that go public and those that remain private?
