Mr. Barry Donoghue:

With regard to the role of the Garda Síochána, in dealing with a fatal case, the family liaison officer would have been chosen especially to deal with that case. That person would deal with the family from the initial tragic death of the victim. It seems that these would be the appropriate people to communicate directly with the victim. I am not aware of any case in which this has been a particular problem, information did not get through or people were unaware they were entitled to reasons or review.
