I listened to the Minister's response to questions asked by Deputies Niall Collins and Mick Wallace on the independent review mechanism. The only conclusion to be drawn about this process is that it is possibly a deliberate attempt to deflect public anger surrounding issues of Garda malpractice rather than an effort to address the issues. The process was supposed to be a short-term paper review to recommend what action should be taken next rather than an end in itself. No serious action has been suggested in any of the 200 cases reviewed to date. Will the position change in respect of the remaining 100 cases on which there have not been communications?
