Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It is important to point out that under the legislation it is entirely a matter for the commission to decide whether any information gathered during the course of its inquiry will be forwarded or shared. It would not, therefore, be appropriate for me to comment in that regard. There is also, of course, the decision by the Garda Commissioner that an Assistant Commissioner is reviewing the report to see if any further action will be taken by the Garda in the matter.
