Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

As I stated when welcoming the publication of the Barr report in July, in accordance with the provisions of the Garda Síochána Act 2005, I chose to forward a copy of the report to the chief inspector of the Garda inspectorate in order that Garda procedures and practices for dealing with incidents of the type which unfolded at Abbeylara might be reviewed. I understand from the Garda inspectorate that work on its report is well advanced and that this will be furnished to me in January 2007.
