Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

I possess general figures on the total number of complaints being made but I do not know whether they include informal complaints. For example, 96 complaints of harassment and bullying were made in 2006 and the figure will be higher in 2007. However, the number of complaints getting as far as the ombudsman is still quite small. From that point of view, in the context of the overall situation it does not cause me any undue worry.
