Put a question, please, Deputy.

The Garda Síochána and the Government have admitted to the shortcomings in the system but they have not held their hands up and taken responsibility. The only people for whom there have been repercussions are the two men who put their jobs on the line, one of whom has no job, who was driven out of the force and the other who cannot do his job properly because he has been denied access to PULSE. This is the treatment given to whistleblowers who save the State money, who bring in new protocols and who shine the spotlight. My question again is what will the Taoiseach do about it.

The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and the two Garda reports highlighted deficiencies in the system. While the Deputy may sneer, there is no difficulty. Indeed, there is an obligation to renew people's acquaintance with regulations so that they understand them exactly. The Garda Commissioner issued new notices to the entire Garda workforce at the end of August and these speak for themselves. The Comptroller and Auditor General has made recommendations in this matter. These are accepted by the Garda Commissioner and they will be fully implemented. I will provide an update for Deputy Daly in respect of the whistleblower legislation and the protection of those in the public service.
