Yes, any files that have been submitted, and where the panel has sought additional information on a case, its members can obviously request that. I confirm to the Deputy that even though the entirety of complaints that have come in have not been examined at this point, I have taken a decision to begin the feedback after Easter to individual complainants where the cases have been completed, when I will start to send out those letters to individuals. I wish to provide some further information to Members.
The majority of the complaints are against An Garda Síochána, approximately 99 are against GSOC and 128 involve other bodies. One of the reasons I was waiting to have as many as possible completed before I started giving out recommendations was to be able to give a comprehensive report. I have asked for that report and will publish it with its analysis and recommendations.
