Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I have the letter here, it is in black and white in the Minister's hand and prepared for him by the Department. The Minister draws attention to the fact that, under section 41 of the Criminal Justice Act 1999 it is an offence to seek to intimidate persons assisting in a criminal investigation. The Minister writes:

I am informed by the Garda authorities that separate records are not maintained of offences under section 41 as between those directed against witnesses and those directed against jurors.
