In February 1999, Assistant Commissioner Carty was appointed by the Garda Commissioner to investigate allegations that gardaí in Donegal had engaged in criminal and unethical behaviour. In July 2000, Assistant Commissioner Carty submitted his report — that was the investigation file — to the Director of Public Prosecutions. In August 2000, Assistant Commissioner Conroy forwarded a 37-page summary of Carty report to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. This was not the Carty report.
