I do not know the details of the interaction between Transparency International Ireland and the Garda Commissioner. The Garda Commissioner has said she wants to make every effort to ensure that whistleblowers are dealt with appropriately in the Garda Síochána and that the culture of whistleblowing changes so that it is a safe place if members of the force wish to report issues of concern to them and want to make protected disclosures within the force. As part of that, she has said she will work with an outside body, namely, Transparency International Ireland, to do that work. I assume the work has started but I can ask the Commissioner for an update on that and communicate with the Deputy.
