Does she not think that in a healthy environment, we would have a lot more than single figures in terms of people complaining? Is it possible there is a fear element involved and that people are afraid to put their heads above the parapet, given that those who do usually pay a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (12 Oct 2016)
Mick Wallace: I have two brief questions. First, did the Commissioner admit that she gave instructions to challenge the credibility and motivation of Sergeant McCabe with regard to the O'Higgins report?
