I assume the Deputy is referring to the recent allegations made by a Garda whistle-blower. As the Deputy is aware, following a decision by Government, Mr. Sean Guerin, Senior Counsel, has been requested to undertake an assessment of those allegations. Mr Guerin has been asked to report his findings before the Easter recess and to make recommendations. The report will be published immediately and I am on record as stating that, if Mr Guerin recommends a Commission of Inquiry, one will be established.
