I wanted to give Deputy Connolly, with respect, the Government position. I wanted to get that accurate because it is a hugely important issue. My understanding is the two reports the Deputy refers to will come to Government within a short number of weeks, that is, within the next two to three weeks. If and when they are agreed by the Government, they will be published and acted upon.

I am glad the Garda Commissioner has apologised for what happened with regard to the cancelled calls. That was not up to the standards we expect from An Garda Síochána. My understanding is the new system for cancelling calls has shown a huge reduction in the number of calls being cancelled. However, that does not excuse or allow us forget what had happened in the analysis which was shown.

I mean no disrespect by not having a specific answer on having the report but I can commit to the Deputy it will be before Government in the next couple of weeks and will then be published and shared with Deputies here and will be acted upon.
