50. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the steps she will take to deal with the other Garda whistleblowers who have made persistent claims to her of being the victims of bullying and harassment inside the service, in view of the recent public revelations concerning the treatment of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy is aware the Government proposes to set up a Tribunal of Inquiry into various matters relating to the treatment of Garda whistleblowers and related matters. Resolutions setting out the draft terms of reference for this Tribunal of Inquiry have been laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas and are being discussed by the Dáil today.

I am grateful to Mr Justice Peter Charleton for agreeing to chair the Tribunal.
