The Garda Commissioner issued his instructions on 30 August in order to ensure that the relevant procedures would be tightened up and that any issue of concern would be addressed. I am sure that when it has completed the work it is undertaking, the Garda inspectorate will report to me. When we receive that report, it will be considered with the utmost seriousness. In the meantime, the Deputy may rest assured that the relevant issues of concern were addressed in the Garda Commissioner's report on 30 August. The Deputy was not in the House earlier when I made reference to the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and the acceptance by the Garda Commissioner of the recommendations made by him. The matter has substantially moved on but it appears the Deputy may be locked in something of a political time warp, particularly as he feels the need to continually and obsessively raise and pursue this issue on each occasion on which I am present to reply to questions to the Department of Justice and Equality.
