Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I do not want to go into specific details of the premises because a criminal investigation is ongoing. It is safe to say the gardaí involved in the preparation of the file for the DPP decided to bring it to an outside printing operation. That was not done because of a lack of resources, the gardaí have a full printing and photocopying capability in the office, but a decision was made for operational reasons. This will not happen again because the Garda Commissioner has issued a directive that all future printing of these files, except in exceptional circumstances where the Garda premises does not have the proper capability, will be carried out in-house.
