He made his complaint in May 2014. The case has gone on for so long that he is no longer getting any pay from An Garda Síochána. He is on social welfare. After he made his complaint, the Garda initiated proceedings against him, dragged in a domestic, family matter and made dirt of the individual. Will anyone be answerable for how he has been treated? It is a given that this man will be proven correct in the long term. The Minister must realise that. In the meantime, some of the gardaí he complained about are suspended on full pay in Athlone and the midlands area. I understand that is the normal process. However, the whistleblower is getting no money from An Garda Síochána because of how things have been dragged out. It is interesting that a court order demanding the release of documents, which was supposed to be delivered by the Garda Síochána six weeks ago, did not happen. How in God's name could that happen? These two individuals have been put through hell. We have been worried about their mental health. It is just not true that proper protections are in place for these people. There is no protection for them. They have been treated abysmally.
