Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

No files relating to the Sallins robbery were held in my Department. They would have been Garda files or files held by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. As I stated, the only files in my Department related to the security situation and only a very small number of files were held back. The files related to security information and we had no files relating to the issues the Deputy mentioned.

On the McEntee inquiry, on which we will have questions later, any appropriate files, either Garda files or otherwise, were available. I will deal with the matter when we come to the question.
