No one wants Mr. Gleeson to draw conclusions from an ongoing court case. I, the committee and Deputy Catherine Murphy, are trying to get an answer to these questions. There was an ongoing investigation. We asked specifically about historical cases regarding the individuals involved and the plan and this was not mentioned. Here it is now in a reply to a parliamentary question answered since then. It sets out clearly that there is a Garda-led investigation into the individuals and a case being prosecuted. Both have been progressed and the cases will shortly be heard before the courts.
