Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Is the Minister satisfied that everything is done to ensure that evidence collected by the Garda will be available for future court cases? I was involved in one case as a witness and in that case the murder weapon went missing in a Garda station and was never subsequently found. We have also read reports of evidence being stored in locker rooms by gardaí. When will the new property storage and management system be completed to ensure the gardaí are not frustrated when cases collapse due to the absence of or the failure to preserve key evidence?
