Three and a half years ago, Garda Nick Keogh made a complaint about Garda involvement in the drug trade in the Minister's constituency. Shortly after that, he made another report about harassment and bullying. One report seems to be incomplete and the other seems to have been buried somewhere. Nick Keogh's solicitor has written directly to the Minister on a number of occasions since he assumed his position. Deputy Clare Daly and I wrote to the Taoiseach about the investigation into harassment and bullying. This was passed on to the Minister, but we have not heard anything back about it. The Minister has not responded to any of these communications. I wonder why that is the case. What does he intend to do about it? Does the Minister think he has full authority in the Department? If he is telling us that information in the possession of journalists and members of the Opposition has not been forthcoming to him, is that not subversion? What has he done about it?
