Of course, but I am personally involved in a situation and I wish to put it on the record that I am not happy. As the Minister knows, I support the Garda Síochána, at least 99%. However, where there are bad apples they must be rooted out, and bad practices also must be rooted out. People are getting this type of treatment. They are entitled to their good name, which is all one has, and to due process, not to the selective sending of certain statements to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, which happened previously in my case, with others not being sent. I will speak to the Minister privately about that.

I welcome the report. There is much work to be done as a result of it.
