Mr. Hugh Hume:

This talks to Deputy Murphy's point in that, if we were aware of something that caused concern, the commission would discuss it and we may open an investigation under section 102 (4) in the public interest. This may come about. We have spoken about protected disclosures and we have the powers to open investigations under the protected disclosure legislation also. Even where a member of the public has not contacted us, we may receive information from Garda management, Garda members or other sources and we may open a complaint in the public interest if we believe it is warranted.
