I do not expect Mr. Hume to be able to give the figures for last year but for 2019 and 2020, out of the criminal investigations opened, how many of the 485 investigations opened in 2019 went to trial? Are there any such figures for the 572 in 2020? When I saw the figure of 572 last July after GSOC sent us that letter, I was really taken aback. The figure flattened off last year at 557 but given the fact that 557 criminal investigations and 752 disciplinary investigations were opened in 2021, we can see 1,309 Garda officers are under criminal or disciplinary investigation. That took me by surprise. Regarding criminal investigations in 2019 and 2020, the figure for 2019 is 485 while the figure for 2020 is 572. How many involved prosecutions?
