Mr. Drew Harris:

There are two other individuals still before the courts in respect of the incident to which the Deputy refers. Again, it is very difficult for me to comment on a specific incident.

Second, I am aware that the Mail on Sunday published allegations on 18 May, which I then referred to Fiosrú. It has since examined the investigation file that was submitted by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau to the DPP, and it responded on 6 June that it has no further action that it wishes to take in pursuance of the Act.

Controlled delivery is a very sensitive police methodology. We use it for both organised crime and terrorist offences.
