Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I am aware of the case. The family contacted me some years ago about this matter when I was justice spokesperson of my party. They also contacted the then leader of the Labour Party and we sent a letter jointly to the Garda ombudsman calling for an investigation and outlining some of the matters the Deputy has put. It is a worrying issue and on foot of the Deputy raising it I will ask my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality, to review the papers.
