Over the past thirty years, the person to whom the Deputy refers has made a variety of complaints against the Garda Commissioner, individual named members of the Garda Síochána in various stations in Cork, Cork County Council officials, members of the Judiciary and members of the legal profession.

At present there are a number of relevant sets of civil proceedings which are still in being. These have been instituted by the complainant against the Garda Commissioner, individual members of the Garda Síochána as well as a member of the judiciary. Since these cases relate to the subject matter of the Deputy's Question it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.
