Mr. Hugh Hume:

I will take the Deputy through the whole process and explain it. When those 1,332 complaints are admitted, we make a number of determinations as to what happens with each complaint. The first thing we do is look for criminality. GSOC retains any allegation of a criminal nature. Such allegations are never passed on to the Garda Síochána to investigate. There were about 557 such allegations last year. We retain and investigate those through to their completion.
