I asked the Minister a straightforward question. Does he agree with the Garda Commissioner's assessment of the actions of the two whistleblowers or does he not? If not, will he take this opportunity to disassociate himself from that comment? Surely he accepts that the whole issue of workplace bullying is a serious issue in our society. The message needs to go out to people that they are encouraged to come forward, not threatened in a way that ensures they shut up if they have something to say. This is an important issue that goes way beyond the Garda and it is important that the Minister should state his position on it. Does he agree with what the Commissioner said or not?
