Another point was touched on by one of my colleagues. Notwithstanding the Minister's remark about not wishing to prejudice the proceedings, is it possible for her to indicate the outcome the commission of investigation is seeking in terms of the effective investigation into the shooting of Mr. MacLochlainn in 1998?

Is there a question of wrongdoing on the part of members of An Garda Síochána in carrying out their duties on the day?
